Gloucestershire seamer Charlesworth to retire at 23

Gloucestershire seamer Luke Charlesworth will retire from cricket because of a back injury. The 23-year-old made the decision after medical advice confirmed he could not continue playing.

Charlesworth had been part of Gloucestershire's playing staff and was considered a prospect for the county's pace attack.

The retirement ends a career that began with promise but was cut short by persistent injury issues.
