Division One survival will not be enough to save Matthew Maynard‘s position as director of cricket at Somerset.
ESPNcricinfo understands that Maynard, the former England and Glamorgan batsman, will leave the club immediately after the final game of the season. He has spent three years at the club and had another two years remaining on his contract.
While Somerset have endured a tough season in 2017, they went close to winning the County Championship for the first time in their history in 2016 and reached the knock-out stages of both limited-overs competitions this year.
They are also set to record a victory on the final day of the season against Middlesex that will guarantee them Division One Championship cricket in 2018.
