A hamstring injury has forced Sean Abbott to end his County Championship stint with Surrey. The pacer picked up the injury against Gloucestershire and did not take the field on the final day.

Abbott had also signed up for the T20 Blast but is now aiming to be fit before the home domestic season in Australia. "Sean's injury is incredibly unfortunate as he made a great impression during his first game and had already become a popular member of the dressing room," Alec Stewart, Surrey's director of cricket, said.

Abbott, who was to stay in the United Kingdom till July 16, will undergo two-week quarantine in Australia. Surrey now have only one overseas player in their ranks in Hashim Amla, who has been in good form with a half-century, a century and a double century in the tournament so far.
