Former Kent wicketkeeper Geraint Jones will retire at the end of the season.
The 38-year-old, an Ashes winner with England in 2005, made the announcement as he stood down as Gloucestershire captain.
Jones told the Gloucester website: “It’s been something I’ve been thinking about quite strongly in the last few weeks and I’ve come to the decision that this season will be my last as a cricket player.
“But it’s on a positive note that I’ve made the decision.
“Yes, the family side has been a big consideration but ultimately it’s about what’s best for Gloucestershire cricket and this squad.
“Over the last few weeks I felt there were guys who needed an opportunity and my place in the team was potentially that opportunity.”
