Andre Nel, the South Africa fast bowler, has left Titans after four years due to personal reasons.

"We wish him every success, and thank him for his efforts for the Titans over the last few years," Andy O'Connor, chairman of the Easterns franchise, said, "which included winning the SuperSport Series twice and the unprecedented double during the 2007-2008 season!"

"It is regrettable to hear of Andre's decision to leave the Titans," Richard Pybus, the Titans coach, said. "He played an important role in our Standard Bank Pro20 success this year and never gave less than a 100% for us, whether training or playing. We wish him well for the England tour and for his future."

Nel played 23 matches for Titans, picking up 30 wickets at 31.36. He represented Essex earlier this season but was granted early leave to play for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, before earning a call-up to South Africa's Test squad on their tour of England next month.
