WARWICKSHIRE: Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal has left Warwickshire mid-season due to a back injury sustained in the ongoing season.
He was last seen in action for the county side on June 8, but has since been sidelined with a diagnosis of a back injury.
Jamal’s contract was due to expire on 19 July after the group stage of the T20 Blast, but was terminated by mutual termination of his contract when it was diagnosed during his rehabilitation that he would not be available for selection.
Warwickshire chief executive Gavin Larsen praised Jamal’s attitude throughout his injury and rehabilitation process and expressed his belief that the Pakistan quick will soon be fit enough to represent his country.
“Aamir has worked incredibly hard with our medical and strength and conditioning teams,” Larsen said, “but unfortunately we ran out of time to get him back on the field and bowling at full pace.”
Warwickshire suffered greatly in terms of their pacers staying fit as injuries to Chris Rushworth, Craig Miles and Liam Norwell left the county short of seamen. Hassan Ali’s time in the side was also heavily influenced by international duties.
