YORKSHIRE are facing an anxious wait over news of their Australian recruit Aaron Finch.
The Australian World Cup-winner has to recover from a hamstring injury if he is to arrive on schedule to play for Yorkshire again this summer.
Finch had to retire hurt after a quick single for Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League match against Rajasthan Royals.
Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said Finch’s injury “looked bad” - but it was after scans yesterday that the Australian himself confirmed he has had a significant setback.
Finch, pictured, tweeted: “Looks like I’ll be out of the rest of @IPL at this stage! The scan showed a bit of damage, absolutely shattered!”
The destructive opener is set to return to Yorkshire, for whom he played last summer, to take part in all formats once the IPL season is finished.
