Shannon Gabriel's brief stint as an overseas player with Yorkshire looks to have come to a premature end with the West Indies quick left out of their squad for the County Championship match against Hampshire.
Gabriel was signed by Yorkshire to play three red-ball matches in July as a replacement for Pakistan star Haris Rauf. Rauf had picked up an impressive 15 wickets in four appearances and Yorkshire were hoping that Gabriel could add some much-needed firepower, with England international Matthew Fisher also out injured.
However, things have not gone to plan, with the 34-year-old taking just five wickets at an average of 44.40 in appearances against Surrey and Somerset. And the Daily Mail are reporting that it was Gabriel's slow over rate which lead to him being dropped for the Hampshire match.
