The Tasmanian signed a three-year deal with the Hobart Hurricanes ahead of the 2018/19 season at the BBL. The negotiations broke down at the time of renewal and it has left the all-rounder stranded without a contract in the BBL.
Speaking on SEN Hobart’s Jack and Painey, James Faulkner said his manager was too embarrassed to bring him the offer made by the Hurricanes.
The 31-year-old pointed out that it wasn’t about wanting more money, but he did not feel respected with the kind of offer.
“That’s like sticking a knife straight in my back” – James Faulkner
James Faulkner hit out at the head coach of the Hobart Hurricanes, Adam Griffith, for stating that the team performed well enough without him. Griffith acted as if he did not care about his exclusion from the side, reckons Faulkner.
Faulkner went on to slam the head coach for using his injury against him and said he put his body on the line last season for the franchise.
James Faulkner was part of the Australian squad that won the 2015 Men’s Cricket World Cup. He has also represented multiple teams in the coveted Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years.
