Josh Davey has been ruled out of the Saltires 2013 CB40 campaign after signing a new deal with Middlesex.
The 22-year-old all-rounder played in all but one of this season's fixtures against county opposition, impressing in the win over Nottinghamshire.
Angus Fraser, Middlesex managing director of cricket, said: "Middlesex and Scotland have decided it will be in Josh's best interests to just play for Middlesex next season, with the exception of full international matches. The regular travelling from London to Edinburgh has made it hard for Josh to feel committed to one side and we believe a full year with Middlesex will allow him to get the best out of himself."
Davey, currently on Scotland's tour to South Africa, has already earned 35 caps, scoring 723 runs. His 37 wickets include a national one-day international record of five for nine against Afghanistan in 2010.
The Scots continue their tour with a three-day match against North West Dragons, starting tomorrow.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
