Jeremy Snape released by Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire CCC Media Release - 27 September 2002

Gloucestershire County Cricket Club announced today that they will not be offering Jeremy Snape a contract for the 2003 season. Their statement reads:

"This has been a difficult decision about a player who has performed very well for GCCC and achieved a lot of success in the 4 years he has been with us. However, his relationship with the cricket management over the past 18 months has been very poor and has reached the stage where we believe it is unlikely to improve. Further, competition for places in the middle order and lower middle order will be fierce next year and we do want to give every chance to a number of young all rounders with considerable potential. We therefore feel that opportunities for Jeremy Snape, particularly in the 4 day game, could well be limited and, accordingly , cannot justify paying the sort of salary he would be entitled to".

He had developed and improved his game a great deal during his time with GCCC and we wish him every success in the future."
