As the injury woes continue to circle the “most cash rich cricket league of the world”, Australian pacer Billy Stanlake has been ruled out of the remainder of the Sunrisers Hyderabad matches in IPL 2018. Billy suffered a finger injury while fielding in a match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
“Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler Billy Stanlake has been ruled out of the remainder of the eleventh”edition of the ongoing IPL,” a media release from the Sunrisers Hyderabad said.
Indian and Australian orthopaedic specialists have advised Stanlake to skip the remainder of the tournament owing to the finger injury.
“Billy sustained a displaced fracture on the fifth finger of his right hand whilst fielding. Surgical reduction and fixation was required to restore the function to that finger,” the release said.
According to the release,”the pacer”has flown back to Australia for further treatment.
The 23-year-old fast bowler had taken five wickets in the four games with an economy of 8.12, which he played for Hyderabad in this IPL.
This comes as a huge setback for the SRH, who mostly rely on their bowling power to win them the majority of matches.
