"He will join in full training with the lads in November. He has made a real good start to his rehab with no pain at all. He is doing bike work, cross-trainer work, circuits in the gym.”
Former Shropshire all-rounder Leach, Worcestershire’s leading wicket-taker for the previous three seasons, was badly missed as the Pears suffered relegation.
BBC Sport Online at least made good use of him as occasional summariser for Worcestershire's Championship and one-day matches.

West Midlands Railway said an overnight shortage caused delays of more than 30 minutes to the 06:53 and 07:15 services.

Just after 10:30, the railway said a normal service would be able to resume on the line.
