Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal left Warwickshire midway due to a back injury he sustained in the ongoing cricket season.
Jamal joined Warwickshire after a sensational Test debut on Pakistan’s tour to Australia where he picked up 18 wickets in three matches.
However, the Pakistan all-rounder could only represent Warwickshire in two County Championship matches and one Vitality Blast fixture.
He was last seen in action for the side on June 8 and has been sidelined since then as he suffered a back injury.
Notably, Aamer Jamal’s contract with Warwickshire was originally supposed to expire on July 19 but his rehabilitation progress indicated that he would not be able to attain complete fitness by then and thus the contract was mutually terminated prematurely.
“This is my first experience with a significant injury, and it’s been challenging to accept. I’m now focused on getting back to full fitness and resuming play,” Jamal was quoted saying by Warwickshire.
“I would have liked my time with the Bears to have gone differently, but I appreciate the support from everyone at the club and wish them success for the rest of the season,” he added.

Warwickshire performance director Gavin Larsen praised Jamal’s determination and attitude throughout his injury and rehabilitation before expressing his desire that the all-rounder will recover soon to be able to represent his country.
“Aamir has worked incredibly hard with our medical and strength and conditioning team,” said Larsen, “but unfortunately, we’ve run out of time to get him back on the field and bowling at full pace,” stated Larsen.
“It’s disappointing because he showed tremendous potential in Australia with his pace and aggression. I know he’s very disappointed not to have demonstrated his capabilities to the Bears fans.
“We can’t fault Aamir’s attitude during his rehab. I am confident he will return fit and ready to represent Pakistan soon. We wish him all the best.”
