Big Bash League: In a setback for the Perth Scorchers and Australian cricket, fast bowler Jhye Richardson was ruled out of the remainder of the Big Bash League (BBL) due to a left side strain, leaving his participation in ODI series against West Indies next month in doubt.

The 27-year-old pacer injured his left side during the match against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba, with scans revealing the extent of the damage on Friday afternoon.

Despite Richardson's subpar performance in the BBL this season, with six wickets and an economy rate of 9.18, his inclusion in the Australia squad for the West Indies ODIs marked a significant comeback since 2022.
