Saturday 6 September 2014 08:37, UK
Batsman Matt Pardoe and pace bowler Graeme Cessford will leave Worcestershire at the end of the season after the county announced they will not be offering them new deals.
Opening batsman Pardoe has played 56 first-class matches for the Pears and Southern Rocks with an average of 24.63, while paceman Cessford has made a limited impact since joining the club at the start of last summer.
"I would like to thank the club for the past 10 years from a youngster on the academy to the present day," said Pardoe.
"It was fantastic growing up through the guidance of Damian D'Oliveira and playing first-class cricket for Worcestershire.
"I wish the club all the best in the future and look forward to the next chapter of my career."
Director of cricket Steve Rhodes added: "I would like to thank both Matt and Graeme for all their commitment and effort for the county and wish them both the very best for their future careers."
