The all-rounder will return to Guyana to continue his recovery from the hamstring strain he suffered against the Brisbane Heat last Wednesday.

The Hurricanes in a statement on Monday said it was a "mutual decision" from both parties in regard to the 22-year-old, who has been on the road for approximately six months with his return to full fitness before the end of the tournament uncertain.

"It's really unfortunate for Keemo that his initial time in the KFC BBL has come to an end like this,'' Cricket Tasmania's general manager of high performance Simon Insley said.

"It's been great to have him as a part of the group, and this setback has been really disappointing for him.

"Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the best out of Keemo this tournament, due to the demand that comes with back-to-back bubbles.

"However, with proper time to rest and recuperate, we are hopeful that we will see Keemo back in the BBL in the future."

Paul added: "I'm very disappointed to get injured so early in the BBL campaign.

"However, I thank the Hurricanes for their support and wish them all the best for the remainder of the tournament."

At this stage, the Hurricanes will not be looking to bring in another international to replace Paul.

He managed just the two matches for the Hurricanes, scoring just the eight runs and taking one wicket at an average of 68 with an economy rate of 13.60.

Paul's departure comes with fellow all-rounder James Faulkner sidelined with his own hamstring injury, while Matthew Wade and Tim Paine are unavailable due to Australian commitments.

The Hurricanes will continue their BBL10 campaign against the Melbourne Stars at Blundstone Arena on Monday from 4.05pm.
