Early Gloucestershire departure for Vikram Banerjee

Banerjee took four wickets in three Division Two games this season

Spinner Vikram Banerjee has left Gloucestershire prior to his contract ending at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old has decided to leave the club to pursue a career away from county cricket.

He broke into the side in 2007 and has appeared in 43 first-class games.

Director of cricket John Bracewell told the club website: "He has made some important contributions with the ball for us over the years both on and off the field."

Banerjee added: "I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenges of county cricket and feel proud to have given my all to Gloucestershire.

"I wish the squad all the best and I am now looking forward to challenges of a different kind."
