Alex Gidman suffers broken finger

Worcestershire have confirmed that Alex Gidman will miss the remainder of the season with a broken finger.

The 34-year-old suffered the complaint during a training session at the ICG Emirates yesterday afternoon.

A subsequent scan revealed the extent of the damage, which will keep the batsman out of the final two County Championship matches of the campaign against Durham and Middlesex.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore has been drafted in as a replacement for Gidman, who has a high score of 78 this term.
