WELLINGTON, March 24<\/span> (Reuters) – South Africa batsman Hashim
\nAmla has had emergency surgery after he was hit in the groin
\nwith the ball on the opening day of the third test against New
\nZealand, the team said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The injury occurred on Friday when Amla got a thick inside
\nedge to a delivery from Chris Martin and the ball cannoned into
\nhis groin area.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Amla, on 33 at the time, received treatment on the ground
\nbut continued batting before being dismissed for 63 attempting a
\npull shot from a short Mark Gillespie delivery. He was taken to
\nhospital after his dismissal.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hashim underwent emergency exploratory surgery resulting
\nfrom blunt trauma sustained to his groin region,” team manager
\nMohammed Moosajee said in a statement. “He spent the night in
\nhospital and was discharged this morning.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“The surgeon is satisfied with the outcome and expects
\nHashim to make a full recovery, however, it is unlikely that he
\nwill be able to take further part in the current test match at
\nthe Basin Reserve.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant coach Russell Domingo said after the close of play
\non Friday he felt the injury may have contributed to Amla’s
\ndismissal.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was a real un-Hashim like shot and maybe he was affected
\nby the blow he took,” Domingo said. “It may have limited his
\nmovement a bit.”
