During the last few weeks there has been much speculation in the media concerning unrest in our dressing room. The Chief Executive had individual discussions with the squad and, as a result, we have identified a number of areas where it is necessary for us to make improvements. We are in the process of putting these measures in place.

The whole matter has been discussed by the Management Committee who have stated their complete support for the Director of Cricket, John Bracewell and the Captain, Mark Alleyne. During their time at the Club, Gloucestershire have achieved unprecedented success and are confident that the problems of the past few weeks, whilst not insignificant, will be dealt with in an appropriate manner.

Cricket teams can only flourish when the whole squad are working together and we believe that, with hard work and sensitive leadership, we can achieve this.
