Gurney to miss IPL, T20 Blast due to shoulder injury

Harry Gurney, the Nottinghamshire paceman, will miss the Indian Premier League 2020 along with the Vitality Blast due to a shoulder injury. The left-arm seamer, who has 190 wickets in T20s, will undergo surgery in September.

"Having gone through the same frustrations as everyone this year in waiting for cricket to restart, I'm devastated to have to miss the Blast," he said. "Some of the proudest moments in my career have been with Notts, and nothing quite compares to being out on the field at Trent Bridge competing for trophies with some of my best mates. To have that taken away for a year is tough.

"I have a huge amount of faith in the squad of players and in their ability to go deep in the tournament. I'll be cheering them on for sure, and will be there with a word of advice or tactical input whenever it's needed," he added.
