Somerset's former England batsman Marcus Trescothick has been forced to return home from the Champions League in India due to a recurrence of a stress-related illness.
The 33-year-old left-hander was forced to call time on his international career due to health problems, but had hoped to be able to cope with a short stint away on county duty.
However, Somerset's director of cricket Brian Rose released a statement reading: "Somerset County Cricket Club is delighted to proceed to the Super Eights of the Champions League.
"As you are all aware, Marcus Trescothick has made a great effort to travel to India to attend this exciting tournament.
"Regrettably it has not worked out for him regarding his personal well-being and he has travelled back to England to rejoin his family.
"The club and all his team-mates have fully appreciated this effort and personal commitment and look forward to further success on his behalf."
