In his debut game, Kohler-Cadmore managed to score 18 runs off 23 balls, hitting 2 fours and one maximum. However, fans noticed something unusual around his neck.
What was Tom Kohler-Cadmore wearing around his neck?
He was seen wearing a Q-collar, a of protective gear commonly used by football players and NFL athletes. The Q-collar, designed to decrease the risk of brain injury or concussions, functions by exerting mild pressure on the jugular veins, resulting in a slight increase in blood volume in the head. This process effectively reduces the brain's movement upon impact.
