As a part of his return-to-bowling program, he became aware of increasing discomfort in his elbow during the match for Sussex in the Vitality Blast and a 50-over friendly against Oxfordshire. The operation [was] not related to the stress fracture that sidelined the player previously”.

“He will now spend time on an extended break from cricket before returning for a medical review in early autumn”.
