Hampshire are searching for a new pace bowler after diabetic Wasim Akram left the county with immediate effect because of health problems.

The 37-year-old Pakistani all-rounder only joined the county at the start of the season - but has called time on his short stay at The Rose Bowl after taking medical advice.

A spokesman for the county confirmed to The Press Association this morning: "Wasim is a known diabetic and he has left the club with immediate effect, on the advice of his doctors.

"We had a meeting yesterday and that was it. It's all been very amicable - but we're shocked and disappointed.

First Pompey lose Merse now Wasim quits Hampshire.

Itsnot looking brite on the south coast is it??

Family commitments were the reason behind Hampshire's failed bid to lure Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak to the Rose Bowl.

Hampshire are looking to recruit another overseas player following the decision by Pakistan all-rounder Wasim Akram to leave the county on health grounds.

Streak was their first choice but, having just returned to Zimbabwe following a 10-week tour of England, he opted against hopping back on a plane to ply his trade in the Frizzell County Championship.

"It was just that the offer came at short notice," said Streak.

"I have not been with my family for the past five months and I had already made bookings for a family holiday before we start preparations for the new season.

"They approached me on Monday and at this stage it was too late for me to accept."

The 29-year-old, who was one of the few Zimbabwe players to emerge from the tour with any credit, also has a number of prior engagements to carry out with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union.

They had to wait until the very last ball to clinch victory.
