Joe Mennie is out of hospital after suffering bleeding on the brain, and has been cleared to fly out of Brisbane with his Sydney Sixers teammates on Thursday.

Mennie will continue to be monitored in the coming days but is in good spirits and not suffering from headaches after being struck on the head in a sickening incident at a net session in Brisbane on Monday.

Mennie had been immediately sent to hospital for a check-up, having been hit while bowling, and was cleared of injury but that changed on Tuesday.

Cricket Australia chief medical officer Dr John Orchard said scans had also revealed a fracture.
