Shane Lee has returned to Australia after picking up an injury in The Royals NUL game against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.

As a result,Worcestershire will finish the season without an overseas player as ECB regulations state that at this stage of the season they are not allowed to sign a replacement.

Director of Cricket Tom Moody remains upbeat about the final month of the season. "We will miss Shane's ability with both bat and ball but I am confident the depth of strength we have in the squad will see us through."

Lee had originally been signed as a replacement for fellow Australian Glenn McGrath.
