Warner’s BPL journey ends abruptly
|| CF Correspondent ||
Australian David Warner’s Bangladesh Premier League journey is all set to end abruptly as he will fly back to Australia after the Sylhet phase to assess the condition of his injured elbow.
"David has reported some pain in his right elbow. He will return to Australia on January 21 to be assessed, but is expected to play in the remaining BPL matches until his return. We will have a clearer understanding of the extent of the injury once he has been assessed," a CA spokesperson said on Thursday (January 17).
Warner was appointed Sylhet Sixers' skipper for the sixth edition of Bangladesh Premier League and the Australian batsman took over from Nasir Hossain as the captain of the side.
The veteran batsman, who was slapped with a 12-month ban by Cricket Australia for his role in the ball-tampering saga in the Cape Town Test, has been playing in various T20 tournaments across the globe. He took part in Global T20 Canada as well as the Caribbean Premier League this year and was expected to complete his stint with Sixers for the whole tournament
