Somerset bowler Andy Caddick is close to a comeback after being sidelined by back and shoulder injuries.

Director of cricket Brian Rose has revealed that the former England star should be available for selection soon.

"We've got Andy up our sleeve and he will come into play pretty soon," said Rose. "When he does he obviously has the ability to be a match winner.

"He will be in contention for the championship game with Yorkshire or for the Twenty20."
