Warwickshire first-team coach Ian Westwood says veteran seamer Chris Rushworth is determined to get back fit in time for the run-in to the County Championship season in September.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 38-year-old pulled his hamstring after bowling three overs on the first morning of the Bears’ last red-ball match, against Sussex, which ended on Wednesday in a draw.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rushworth will miss Warwickshire’s remaining Championship matches this month against Worcestershire at Edgbaston, starting on 22 July, and the trip to Essex which begins a week later.<\/p>\n

The former Durham seamer, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, missed the start of the campaign with a calf injury and his latest setback came in just his second appearance of the summer.<\/p>\n

“He’s obviously down,” Westwood told BBC Radio WM.<\/p>\n

“He’s gone in his hammy, which is always disappointing, but when you do it early in a game particularly right at the start in that first innings, it’s a double whammy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warwickshire first-team coach Ian Westwood says veteran seamer Chris Rushworth is determined to get back fit in time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237912,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-237911","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114796049555689095","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
