Mark Boucher’s participation for the Test series against England is in doubt after he suffered a “significant injury,” to his left eye during the tour match against Somerset. Boucher had to leave the field at the end of the 46th over when a googly from Imran Tahir ricocheted off the stumps and struck him in the left eye. Photographs showed Boucher bleeding from the eye as he left the field.
He will undergo surgery on Monday night to determine the seriousness of the injury - which was diagnosed as laceration of the sclera, the white part of the eye - but it looms as a potential career-ender as Boucher said the tour of England would be his last. [x]
