It's a puzzling move for Thomas even with Mohamed Ibrahim returning next season. Ibrahim is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, which is one of the most devastating injuries an athlete can suffer. There's no guarantee Ibrahim will be 100% next season, and Thomas was in line for a lion's share of the carries.
