Cameron Bancroft has made 10 Test appearances for Australia while Daniel Sams has played in 10 T20 internationals
Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams are both "conscious and talking" after colliding with each other while playing in the Big Bash League, Sydney Thunder say.
The Sydney team-mates have shown "concussion symptoms" following the incident while fielding during Friday's game away to Perth Scorchers.
The Australian pair, both 32, clashed heads as they tried to take a catch, with former T20 international Sams carried off on a stretcher.
Bancroft, who served a nine-month ban for ball-tampering while playing for Australia's Test team in 2018, was able to walk from the field, though he had blood pouring from his nose.
"Both players are conscious and talking, demonstrating symptoms of concussion and have possible fractures," Thunder said on X.
"Both have been transported to hospital for assessment."
They were substituted by Ollie Davies and Hugh Weibgen, who helped Sydney restrict Perth to 177-4 from their 20 overs.
