da bet7： ESPNcricinfo staff13-Jul-2014Craig Kieswetter, the Somerset wicketkeeper, has been diagnosed with a broken nose and fractured cheek bone following a blow from a bouncer during the opening day of the Championship match against Northamptonshire.Kieswetter, who has played 46 ODIs and 25 T20s for England, was pinned in the face by a short delivery from the left-armer David Willey, which squeezed between his grille and visor, and immediately went to his knees in the batting crease as blood spilled from a cut under his eye. He was treated on the pitch for a short period before being helped to the dressing room and went to hospital for tests.Andy Nash, the Somerset chairman, tweeted on Saturday evening that Kieswetter had suffered “serious but non-career threatening injuries” and the club issued an update on Sunday morning.”Craig has spent time at the local hospital and has undergone all the necessary tests and x-rays needed,” a statement said. “The latest results have shown a broken nose and a fractured cheek bone, which over the coming days will receive further attention by the necessary specialists.”Somerset’s director of cricket, Dave Nosworthy, said: “Craig is in very safe and capable hands at this time. These freak cricketing accidents happen from time to time and I am confident with the right care that he will come through this setback. Naturally Craig will no longer take part in this match, and I am thus sure that you will all join in – in wishing Craig a speedy recovery.”Kieswetter also took to Twitter to show he was in a good spirits despite the nasty injury. “I took keeping your ‘eye on the ball’ to a completely new level,” he posted.
