Shadab cleared of a serious injury after fielding incident on Sussex debut.

Pakistani leg spinner Shadab Khan has been cleared of a major injury after colliding with his Sussex teammate on his debut for the club in the Vitality T20 Blast.

The incident occurred in the seventh over when Tom Kohler-Cadmore, on 8 runs, skied a Ravi Bopara delivery over extra cover with Shadab and Australian pace bowler Nathan McAndrew failing to communicate with each other which resulted in a nasty collision.

The players received medical treatment on the ground before McAndrew was able to join the game but Shadab had to leave for a concussion check.

However, Sussex coach Paul Farbrace later confirmed that Shadab Khan's injury is just a sore neck.

Shadab did not get to bowl a single delivery and earlier contributed just 8 of Sussex's 183 runs.

Kohler-Cadmore then went on to score 72 quickfire runs to help his side reach the target with five wickets to spare.
