Franklin pulls out of deal

Glamorgan have had a nightmare as far as overseas players goes this season and it continues to get worse. James Franklin, the New Zealand left-arm seamer, has pulled out of his deal after injuring his knee on the recent tour of South Africa.

They lost Matthew Elliott (knee) and Michael Kasprowicz (Australia recall) just before the season started and signed Mark Cosgrove as one replacment. Franklin would have bolstered the attack but a scan confirming a cartilage tear. He hadn't signed his contract with Glamorgan so the club are free to look for a replacement.
