Rajasthan Royals on Sunday informed that West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer has left the team camp in Mumbai to travel back to Guyana for the birth of his first child. The franchise said that the left-handed batter will be back soon. The batter has been in incredible form this season for the franchise and has provided the much-needed boost lower down the order.
Rajasthan posted a video on Twitter in which Hetmyer can be seen hugging his teammates.
“Shimron Hetmyer has travelled back to Guyana early morning today for the imminent birth of his first child, but he’ll be back soon,” RR wrote as the caption.
In the video, Hetmyer said: Hettie here! Babies are born only once and this will be my first. My stuff is still left in the room. It is only because of a special emergency that I am leaving. Don’t miss me too much, see you soon.”
