Wright, 27, was participating in a fielding session when he tripped on a stump, with the metal bottom of the stump piercing his leg near the groin area.
Blood poured out of the wound, with a quick dash to the hospital in Wodonga resulting in seven stitches to the wicketkeeper-batsman’s left leg.
“I was just doing a drill and as I was running behind the stump to catch the ball and must have kicked it out of the ground,” Wright said.
“It basically came down and left a pretty big hole in my leg.”
Wright’s freak accident happened last Thursday, just two days before round one.
