Eathan Bosch’s overseas spell with Essex will conclude a week early after the all-rounder was called up to the South Africa A squad for two four-day matches against Sri Lanka A.
The all-rounder will be available for the Eagles’ upcoming Vitality County Championship match away to Hampshire, but will then play no part in the following week’s home clash against Worcestershire.
Bosch, 26, played four Vitality Blast matches for Essex this summer, and could yet increase his tally of first-class appearances for the Eagles to three if he is selected for the trip to Hampshire.
The first unofficial Test between the A teams of South Africa and Sri Lanka, in Kimberley, starts on Sunday 08 September, before the second follows in Benoni exactly a week later.
“It’s been great to have Eathan as part of the squad,” said Director of Cricket, Anthony McGrath. “He fitted the profile of player we were looking for, and he has been excellent to work with.
“Everyone at Essex is grateful for his efforts, and we wish him all the best as he returns home for two important matches.”
