“Obviously it’s devastating that he has re-injured that hamstring again and he is going to miss a significant amount of time to get his hamstring right,” Western Australia coach Adam Voges said.
“We all feel for Jhye and we’re hopeful that whatever they come with as a solution can fix his hamstring and we get him back out there because it has been a tough 12 months for him”, he added.
Jhye Richardson has played 3 Tests, 15 ODIs and 18 T20I for the national team and bagged 57 wickets across the format.
