Hobart Hurricanes have been dealt a significant setback ahead of the Big Bash League finals. After fast bowler Nathan Ellis was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury. The Australian pacer sustained the injury during a crucial stage of the competition, ruling him out of the Hurricanes’ finals campaign.
Ellis has been one of Hobart’s standout performers this season, particularly in pressure situations at the death. Known for his sharp yorkers and clever variations, his absence leaves a major gap in the Hurricanes’ bowling attack as they prepare for knockout matches.
Team officials confirmed that Nathan Ellis will now focus on rehabilitation, with the medical staff prioritizing his long-term fitness. No replacement has been officially announced yet. But the Hurricanes are expected to rework their bowling combination to manage the loss.
As the BBL finals intensify, Hobart will need other bowlers to step up and deliver under pressure in Ellis’ absence. The injury also has implications for fantasy cricket players. Who may need to rethink their squad selections heading into the decisive phase of the tournament.
