'It was scary' - Jacks goes from emergency surgery to match-winner
Will Jacks' career-best 50-over figures on Tuesday came shortly after the England all-rounder was rushed into hospital for emergency surgery while on a weekend away.
England all-rounder Will Jacks produced career-best figures in a 50-over match on Tuesday, only days after being rushed into hospital for emergency surgery while on a weekend away.
The sudden hospital admission came as an unexpected setback in the buildup to the match, with Jacks needing emergency treatment before recovering in time to take part.
Despite the scare, Jacks went on to deliver his best figures in the 50-over format, playing a decisive role in his side's match-winning performance.
Team management have not detailed the exact nature of the medical issue that required emergency surgery, beyond confirming the timeline around the hospital visit.
Jacks' performance has drawn attention given how close the timing came to what could have ruled him out of the match entirely.
