He was hit on the neck by a 90mph bouncer. The speed of the ball hitting his neck caused an artery to split which led to bleeding into the brain.
Bouncers are very dangerous in cricket but it is something that can sometimes happen without any intention. The neck is a very important part of the body so a new protective piece of protective equipment needs to be made so this doesn't happen again.
It is a sad day for cricket.
