John Hastings ruled out of 2016-17 BBL
Australian quick man John Hastings has been ruled out of the upcoming Big Bash League season after it was revealed that he will need to have a surgery on his injured knee.
"Scans have revealed that John has a significant patella tendon injury and after being reviewed by a specialist it was decided that he will require surgery.
"We expect that John will require a long rehabilitation period after surgery and we will have a better understanding of his return to play time frames in the coming weeks," Cricket Australia's physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.
