The medical team that is always present during a cricket match usually consists of first aid, ambulance service and other doctors. The job of this team is to provide immediate help and send the patient to the hospital in serious cases as per the need.
Now the question arises that who will pay for the hospital? When this team refers someone to the hospital, his treatment is started immediately. If a spectator gets injured in india, then the medical officer of bcci helps the patient. However, no such situation has come up in india so far, in which a spectator has been injured by a ball and has to be admitted to the hospital.
