Read set for retirement

Nottinghamshire’s long-serving captain Chris Read is to retire at the end of this summer.

The 38-year-old former England wicketkeeper – a key player in trophy successes at Trent Bridge – will call time on his career after his 20th season with Nottinghamshire and move on to become director of cricket at Uppingham School.

Read has a tally of 1,329 wicketkeeping dismissals for Notts and has hit more than 20,000 runs across the formats – including 25 centuries.
