Windies keeper Thomas released from hospital after car accident

ST.JOHN’S Antigua, CMC- West Indies wicket keeper Devon Thomas has been discharged from hospital after a vehicular accident in Antigua last Thursday.

Antigua & Barbuda Cricket Association president, Zorol Barthley, has said that the injuries were not life-threatening and Thomas should recover quickly.

He had lost control of his car which went off the road outside Pares Village in Antigua.

“I was driving up the road, going at good speed. I tried to overtake and think I steered away a bit too hard and I slid across the road just above Pares,” Thomas told the Observer.

“ They (doctors) say they are going to check first and then they can adjust but at the moment I can’t say if I am going to be out of cricket and for how long.”

Thomas has 445 runs from six first-class matches and was the top-scorer for Leeward Islands this year.

He had also turned out for Antigua Hawksbills in the Caribbean Premier League and last played for West Indies in February 2013.
