Glamorgan release Lukas Carey, Tom Cullen, Joe Cooke, James Weighell and Ruaidhri Smith

Lukas Carey, Tom Cullen, Joe Cooke and James Weighell will all leave the club at the end of the 2022 season.
All -rounder Ruaidhri Smith has been in the first team for 10 seasons but has been badly hit by injuries.
Glamorgan has had a larger than average county team for several years.
Semer Carey, 25, born in Carmarthen, has the most senior appearances of the starters, with 70 appearances since 2016 including 87 wickets in 33 first-class games.
Despite his wicket-taking promise, fitness issues meant no con senior calling in 2022.
Sco tland international Smith, 28, has been a limited first-choice player at times , recording Glamorgan's most economical T20 figures of four for six, but was unable to string together any consistent action, making just one appearance in 2022.
Cullen, 30, from Western Australia, came through the Cardiff MCCU system and has an impressive one-day average of 35, hitting 80 not in the win over Kent in August.
But his status as Glamorgan's reserve wicket keeper behind Chris Cooke limited his chances, and England Under-19 international Alex Horton should be next in line with the gloves.
The versatile player Joe Cooke, 25, was the leading wicket taker in the 2021 One Day Cup with 20 kills after a change of role from Championship opener.
But the environmental activist, who spoke at the COP summit in Glasgow, was not able to repeat his playing success.
Former Durham all-rounder Weighell, 28, featured in all three formats as a seam pitcher and hard-hitting lower-order hitter, unable to maintain a regular spot.
"There are always tough decisions to be made when planning for the future," said Glamorgan cricket manager Mark Wallace.
"All the departing players have made a significant contribution to the club, and I would like to thank them for their commitment. Everyone at the club wishes them the best for their future projects."
Glamorgan are set to announce new contracts for several all other members of their first team, plus at least one new signing, while Michael Hogan will also leave at the end of the season.< /p>
The club are in negotiations with South African striker Colin Ingram to return alongside Australian duo Marnus Labuschagne and Michael Neser as an overseas contingent for most of 2023.
