Test batsman Adam Voges has been forced to retire hurt from Western Australia's Sheffield Shield clash with Tasmania, after being struck in the head by a bouncer.

Voges was 16 not out at the time when he was hit in the head by fast bowler Cameron Stevenson.

He was helped from the field by two trainers and taken to Perth hospital.

It is the second time Voges has been struck in the head this year, after being hit by an inaccurate throw while fielding in the slips for Middlesex in May.
