Australian all-rounder Moises Henriques was released from hospital on Tuesday after being injured in a collision with teammate Rory Burns. Henriques was representing Surrey in a T20 match on Sunday.
The 28-year-old had three places broken in his jaw and requires further surgery. Burns was discharged with many stitches on his head and cheek, according to a report in www.cricket.com.au.
The positive news follows the outpouring of admiration the pair received after Burns posted a powerful photo via Twitter of him and Henriques holding hands not long after they were rushed to hospital from the ground.
It was shared millions of times around the world on various social media platforms with most applauding Henriques and Burns for their spirit in a time of adversity.
Surrey revealed the news to the fans on Twitter. “More good news on the lads – Moises has now been released from hospital and will see a dental specialist tomorrow. He’s improving slowly!” they posted.
