Coach Pybus leaves Middlesex post

Pybus had two spells as Pakistan coach

Richard Pybus has left his role as first-team coach at Middlesex with immediate effect.

The former Pakistan coach, who asked to be released from his contract because of personal reasons, only started his three-year contract in April.

Director of cricket John Emburey, who missed out on becoming India's coach in June, will take on Pybus' duties.

The former England spinner will seek to lift Middlesex up from fifth place in County Championship Division Two.

Emburey was the previous coach before Pybus replaced him following the county's relegation from Division One of the Championship in 2006.

Pybus had two stints as Pakistan coach between 1999 and 2003 and joined Middlesex from South African side Titans.
