    Melbourne Renegades wicketkeeper Sam Harper is undergoing tests in hospital after suffering a concussion during a freak incident in a Big Bash League cricket game

    Melbourne Renegades wicketkeeper Sam Harper is undergoing tests in hospital after suffering a concussion during a freak incident in a Big Bash League cricket game


    The 23-year-old collided while batting and became the first player subbed out of a BBL match during his side's four-run loss to Hobart.

    Harper, who suffered concussion during a Sheffield Shield game in 2017, was assessed after toppling over Hurricanes bowler Nathan Ellis when attempting a run.
