Voges was struck on the helmet, while batting on 16, when he tried to evade a bouncer from Tasmanian fast bowler Cameron Stevenson. Voges dropped to his arms and knees, before being carried off the field by two trainers after receiving some medical treatment, Fairfax media reported.
The incident raised grim memories of former Test batsman Phillip Hughes, who was killed by a bouncer during a Sheffield match in Sydney two years ago.
This is the second time Voges has been hit on the head this year.
Earlier in May, Voges was struck on the back of the head during County Championship match between Middlesex and Hampshire by a ball lobbed by sub fielder Ollie Rayner and missed by wicketkeeper John Simpson after a boundary hit by Hampshire’s Michael Carberry at Southampton.
