India fast bowler Umesh Yadav couldn't recover from his quad muscle injury on time and has been ruled out for the rest of the County season, his club Middlesex has confirmed on Friday.

The 34-year-old pacer sustained the injury while playing in Middlesex's last home match of the season in the Royal London Cup against Gloucestershire at Radlett, and was forced to leave the field. Later, he was ruled out of the Club's final Group A match away to Sussex in Hove. Middlesex were hopeful of Umesh's return but the right-arm pacer hasn't recovered sufficiently yet.
