Durham Cricket can confirm that Australian overseas spinner Matt Kuhnemann has been ruled out of the remainder of his playing stint with the Club.
Kuhnemann left the field with back stiffness against Glamorgan last week and further scans have found Kuhnemann has picked up a significant injury that requires an extended period of rehabilitation. Matt will return home to Australia to begin rehabilitation with Queensland Cricket.
Director of Cricket, Marcus North said: “We are all extremely disappointed for Matt who in just a short time with the Club has made a great impact on and off the field. We wish Matt well in his recovery.”
