#4 IPL-bound Oshane Thomas suffers car accident

Oshane Thomas

IPL-bound West Indies pacer Oshane Thomas survived a car accident on Highway 2000 in St. Catherine (Jamaica), where his car was overturned after a brutal collision. Thomas, who is celebrating his 23rd birthday today, was taken to the hospital and was declared out-of-danger by the concerned authorities.

Thomas was set to join IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2020 beginning 29 March but his participation now looks uncertain as it could take him some time to recover.

The West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) wished the youngster, still early in his career, a speedy recovery.

“WIPA extends best wishes to West Indies and Jamaica fast-bowler Oshane Thomas who was involved in a motor vehicle accident. WIPA's executive and staff would like to extend our sympathies to Oshane. We wish for him a speedy and full recovery.”

Wishing our gentle giant a happy birthday, and great to see you've made a speedy recovery! 💐🎂#HallaBol | #RoyalsFamily pic.twitter.com/cKtVr9w3pS
