Louis Kimber only played five Championship games this summer as Leicestershire won promotion to Division One

All-rounder Louis Kimber heads a list of three players who will leave Leicestershire following the end of the county season.
The 28-year-old hit the fastest County Championship double hundred from 100 balls against Sussex in 2024 - including 43 from one over bowled by Ollie Robinson.
He was a member of the side that won the One-Day Cup in 2023 and captained the team in this year's competition.
Seam bowlers Matt Salisbury and Roman Walker are also leaving Grace Road, having taken 42 and 39 wickets respectively for the club.
"Louis, Matt and Roman have given a tremendous amount of value to Leicestershire on and off the field," said director of cricket Claude Henderson.
The club are also losing paceman Chris Wright and batter Harry Swindells, who are retiring from professional cricket.
