Dean made his first class debut in 1996

Derbyshire seamer Kevin Dean is to retire from first-class cricket at the end of the current campaign.

Dean, 32, is due to make his final appearance in the home Pro40 clash with Warwickshire on Saturday.

Derbyshire head of cricket John Morris said: "Kevin has been a tremendous player for Derbyshire for many years and his retirement is a sad day for us.

"At his peak he was undoubtedly one of the best bowlers in the country and unlucky not to play at a higher level."
