The absence of Bird, who took 34 wickets in nine Tests from 2012-17, leaves Lancashire looking at bringing in another overseas player in his place. “We are disappointed to lose Jackson as he would have been a great addition to our side for six LV= County Championship matches this summer,” said Lancashire director of cricket Paul Allott in a club statement. “But of course, we understand that his long-term health and fitness must come first, and we all hope to see him back out on a cricket field soon,” the former England paceman added.
