Michael di Venuto is set to leave Derbyshire at the end of the season. The club are believed not to want to offer him a new contract with counties allowed just one overseas player from 2008.

di Venuto told Derby Evening Telegraph: "I've still not officially been told but I've known for two months there would not be an offer coming."

He is Derbyshire's leading run scorer this season and has had interest from other counties, but has to decide if he wants to return to county cricket.
