A collision between Sydney Thunder teammates Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams during a Big Bash League match has resulted in Bancroft's season ending due to a broken shoulder. Both players suffered concussions and will be sidelined for at least 12 days.
Cameron Bancroft's Big Bash League season is over after he sustained a broken shoulder in a collision with teammate Daniel Sams. Bancroft and Sams were both hospitalized in Perth following the incident during the Thunder's last-ball victory over the Scorchers. Both players have been diagnosed with concussions and will be sidelined for at least 12 days. Bancroft also suffered a broken nose in the collision.
The Thunder's GM and Channel 7 commentator Trent Copeland said that Sams's wife, Danii, would be flown to Western Australia to be with him in the hospital. The club is likely to face the consequences of Friday's incident for some time. Bancroft's injury follows a difficult summer for the West Australian, who started the season in contention for a Test spot but saw his form decline.
