Mark Boucher required immediate surgery on his left eye after being struck by a bail on the opening day of South Africa's first tour match against Somerset at Taunton. Boucher suffered the injury when Gemaal Hussain was bowled by Imran Tahir at the end of 46th over and the bail ricocheted into his face.
He was taken to the hospital minutes after leaving the field and following assessment by an ophthalmologist was booked in for surgery at 6pm on Monday evening, confirmed the team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee who added the full extent of the damage will only be known later.
