Mark Wallace has sustained an injury to his left calf which is likely to rule him out of further participation in Glamorgan's current LV=County Championship match against Northamptonshire.
Mark sustained the injury whilst batting yesterday against Ollie Stone, with the acting Glamorgan captain - unbeaten at the time on 27 - pulling up abruptly after taking a couple of steps out of his crease as he attempted a quick single. After treatment from Glamorgan physiotherapist Mark Rausa, the long-serving wicket-keeper was helped off the field, together with the assistance of the twelfth man Jeremy Lawlor.
This is Mark's 249th first-class match and 230th successive Championship match for the Welsh county in a sequence which runs back to June 13th, 2001 when he was a late call-up to replace the unwell Adrian Shaw behind the stumps in Glamorgan's match against Kent at Maidstone.
Mark, who also took several other blows to his torso during his valiant innings in bowler-friendly conditions will undergo further treatment and medical diagnosis in the course of the next few days to ascertain the extent of his injury.
