SOMERSET have released Ben Green to play for Devon in Sunday’s Unicorns KO Trophy quarter-final against holders Berkshire at Sidmouth.

When Devon picked a squad earlier this week there was a question mark over Green, who has been in stunning form with bat and ball for Exeter in league cricket this season. 

Green has been part of Somerset’s 50-over Royal London One-Day Cup squads recently and Devon were unsure if he would be available to them.

Somerset have given their blessing for Green to represent his home county and he has been added to a provisional squad of 14.

Otherwise, skipper Josh Bess has no injury worries, just the issue of whom to leave out on the day.

The squad was already expanded by the return of James Burke, the former Somerset and Surrey all-rounder, who was not available for the first-round win over Wiltshire.

Devon reached the same stage of the competition last season, bowing out to Lincolnshire by five wickets at Grantham.

If Devon can dispose of the holders on Sunday they will be at home to either Oxfordshire or Suffolk in the last four on July 1.
