By all accounts Mrs Gidman wants to move back to the Native North-East, so it may well be a contest between Durham and Yorkshire.

Be a great appointment for Yorkshire, but at the same not overly disappointing to miss out due to the current squad strength.

Surrey have signed Foakes.

Surprised Essex let him go...

Notts favourite to sign him according to legside lizzy on twitter. Time will tell!

Wonder if Foakes sees his future as a keeper/batsman or just as a specialist batsman? If it's the former a move to a county where the captain is keeper seems unusual especially with Davies also there, I know he has taken a break from keeping but assume he hasn't given up the gloves for good.
Wilson has done very well so-even if he loses the captaincy ( no reason why he should imo)-he will surely remain the first choice keeper.

Rory Burns keeps too.

Perhaps Wilson is going to stop keeping, it not it seems to be a strange move.

Somerset's Chris Jones is retiring at the end of the season to pursue an academic career. If scoring a century against the Aussies was a career highlight then the lowlight must be when he captained Durham University in the game against Durham when they were bowled out for about 18.

I wonder if Newell being a selector will make it easier to sign players who have England aspirations.
