Nottinghamshire will not have David Hussey for the season

Australian batsman David Hussey will not be playing for Nottinghamshire for the current season.

Hussey has played for the county club since 2004 and has been a prolific scorer for the side. In the last season, he scored 1259 runs at an average of 83.93. His unavailability for Notts has been confirmed after he was told to take rest by Cricket Australia after his long stint of cricket.

Hussey played in the DLF Indian Premier League and is currently part of the ongoing tour of West Indies which is scheduled to get over by Sunday. Next up is an ODI series against Bangladesh at home in late August just before the ICC Champions Trophy.

Another Australian, Adam Voges who also plays for Notts, will be staying back but he is also expected to play in some international games after the County Championship against Durham in August. Hence, the county will have to look ahead to an overseas players as a replacement.
