Hilton Cartwright gave a big statement
Regarding leaving the match midway, Hilton was quoted by Fox Cricket as saying – My wife Tameka was only 37 weeks pregnant, so this match against Tasmania will not have any impact on the birth of our second child, this is the reason. That I chose to play again.
But at the end of the week I experienced some complications, which led to a call to the gynecologist yesterday when I had already reached the field. He suggested that the best steps for the safety of mother and child should be taken that afternoon.
During the innings break, I informed the management about the situation, and I left for the hospital. I informed my coach and captain about the situation and planned that after the tea break on the second day, I would have to leave the field.
