General Surgeon,  's  Response
Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Lack of urination is directly related to decreased urine formation due to
- excess perspiration lossing body fluids to major extent.
- inadequate liquid intake during the same time.
- adrenaline drive during the match causing hormonal effects.
- exposure to excess heat of atmosphere.
- stress of the event.
@give plenty of liquids - coconut water, lemon juice, green tea, coffee,
butter milk, rice water , juices.
@maintain his BP , Blood sugar , temperature levels.
@Cold sponging over head.
@Avoid exposure to heat.
@Consult family doctor if necessary after 2-3 hours .
Hope this clears your query.
Thanks for using Health Care Magic & reviewing my answer.
Wishing your athlete a fast and speedy recovery from the same.
Bye dear take care.
