Thomas Rogers, who hit the shot speaks after the match and he hopes for Hunt to be alright. He said it was a ‘scary’ incident.

“I hit it pretty hard and I don’t know whether he touched it or not. Hopefully, he’s ok. Hopefully, the scans come back clear for him because he’s got a bright future. He’s usually an absolute gun in the field. Maybe he tripped or something like that. But pretty scary, you never want to see something like that.” (Source- Perth Now)
