Somerset and former England wicketkeeper Steven Davies will retire on the finish of the season.
The 37-year-old, who joined Somerset from Surrey in 2016, has solely featured in two County Championship video games for the membership this yr.
Davies performed eight ODIs and 5 T20 video games for England and has scored 14,298 runs in first-class cricket.
“I really feel that now could be the suitable time for me to retire,” Davies told the club website.
“I all the time stated to the membership that as quickly as we get the suitable particular person in place to take over, I’d step apart and allow them to get their publicity and studying finished whereas they’re younger.
“I believe we will all agree that Somerset are in protected arms with Rewy [James Rew] behind the stumps.”
