Adelaide Strikers all-rounder Fabian Allen has been ruled out of the remainder of BBL|14 due to his hamstring injury.

The Caribbean talented all-rounder suffered a high-grade hamstring strain while fielding during the match against Sydney Thunder at Manuka Oval, where the Strikers lost the game in narrow margin to Sam Konstas and Daniel Sams' blistering batting.

General Manager of Cricket, Simon Insley, says it's very disappointing for a player who has already put such a big impact on the team.

"This was Fabian's first time in Australia, and everyone was so excited to see what he could do with the bat, the ball and in the field," Insley said.

"We are all gutted that the results of the scans have come back ruling him out for the rest of the tournament.

"We wish him well in his recovery and hope to see him and his wife back in Adelaide in the near future."

Allen says he's disappointed about the outcome but understands these things happen in cricket.

"While I'm sad that I will miss the rest of the Big Bash, I guess it's all part of sports," Allen said.

"I will be back stronger than before, and just want to wish the Strikers the best of luck for the rest of the tournament."

Adelaide Strikers squad for BBL|14 : James Bazley, Cameron Boyce, Jordan Buckingham, Alex Carey, Brendan Doggett, Travis Head, Thomas Kelly, Chris Lynn, Harry Nielsen, Jamie Overton, Lloyd Pope, Ollie Pope, Alex Ross, D'Arcy Short, Matt Short, Henry Thornton, Jake Weatherald, Liam Scott, Liam Haskett.

The Strikers will take on Melbourne Stars on December 20 at Adelaide Oval for their second game of the season.
