BBL 2022-23: Melbourne Stars Name Injury Replacement for Marcus Stoinis
Marcus Stoinis is yet to recover from hamstring injury he sustained against Sydney Sixers earlier this month.
Melbourne Stars suffered another injury blow as their ace all-rounders Marcus Stoinis ruled out of the upcoming fixtures as he is yet to recover from a hamstring injury.
The Men in Green announced Tom O’Donnell as the injury replacement for Stoinis. Tom O’Donnell is the son of former Australian all-rounder Simon O’Donnell.
“Tom O’Donnell comes into the side as an injury replacement player for Marcus Stoinis who is recovering from a hamstring strain,” Melbourne Stars said in a statement on Friday, January 13.
Tom O’Donnell was previously contracted with the Renegades on a rookie deal. The left-arm fast bowling all-rounder has scored 38 runs and scalped nine wickets in seven List-A fixtures.
Stoinis meanwhile joins star teammate Glenn Maxwell on the sidelines amid a struggling season for the Stars, who could manage only three wins from ten league stage matches.
