According to The Cricketer's twitter feed he has left with immediate effect.

Wonder where he will go next?

Says on Sky app he wants to be closer to south west London so really only Middlesex or Surrey. I would guess he will cost a lo of money so would rule out Kent and a few other county set ups.

his partner still lives in richmond they never moved when he signed for somerset. from the report there is even a chance he might even take a break from cricket and try more in the media

He seems like a total Primadona to me, he may perform but his attitude could be an issue from a few things I've heard.

We're painting our spare bedroom soon, I'll take some money off you and you can watch the paint dry to replicate the experience  ;)

bad news for sommerset, losing one of their best batsmen. Bad news for England and the LVCC IF he did stop playing as well. Wasn't given the run he deserved for England and yet others in that set up were/are kept on.
