Tim David’s Big Bash League 2025-26 (BBL 2025-26) season has ended early and disappointingly, creating fresh concerns for both the Hobart Hurricanes and Australian cricket. The hard-hitting batsman has been ruled out of the remaining matches of BBL 2025-26 due to a hamstring injury.
This setback has now put David’s availability for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in doubt. The power hitter suffered a hamstring injury during Hobart Hurricanes’ Big Bash League match against Perth Scorchers on Friday, 26 December.
