Wells out with broken finger

Leicestershire captain Vince Wells is likely to be out of action for the remainder of the season after breaking a finger in last Sunday's Norwich Union League win over Yorkshire at Scarborough.

It means he will miss this week's floodlit match against Somerset at Grace Road and the Championship game against the same side which begins on Thursday.

He is also unlikely to be fit for final Championship game away to Surrey and the last Norwich Union League match against Worcestershire at New Road.

Wells will be replaced for the floodlit clash with Somerset by young all rounder Damien Brandy who has been impressing recently for the second team.

Indian seamer Javagal Srinath will be rested for that game with Phil DeFreitas coming back into the side along with Carl Crowe who is fit again after a hip problem.

Srinath will return for the Championship game which will see Rob Cunliffe replacing Wells.
