He wasn’t wearing a protective helmet nor glasses when he was struck by the bail after leg-spinner Imran Tahir’ s googly which bowled Somerset’s Gemaal Hussain. He underwent an eyeball surgery later on and was ruled out of the rest of the tour. But, the severity of the injury forced him to retire prematurely on 10 July.
