Warwickshire have confirmed that Varun Chopra is to leave the club at the end of the season.Chopra was captain of the club until January and has a good long-term record as a batsman. He has been Warwickshires top run-scorer (if all competitions are combined) in four of the five previous seasons and, after a modest 2015, has rediscovered his consistency this year. Only Samit Patel has reached 50 more often of Division One batsmen and, in his only T20 appearance of the season, he hit a match-winning 97 not out.But, as ESPNcricinfo revealed last week, somewhere along the way, the relationship between Chopra and the club management has soured. His desire to have more time off at the end of the season - the club want all players to report back for training in early November - and his reluctance to commit himself to a long-term future at the club have been perceived as not buying into the team culture and setting a less than perfect example to younger players.The club, mindful of the number of senior players on the staff, are also keen to provide opportunities to younger men and make room in the budget for acquisitions.But Chopra is just 29 - significantly younger than the likes of Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott, Rikki Clarke, Tim Ambrose and Jeetan Patel - and could have his best years ahead of him. He retains England aspirations and is known to be of interest to several clubs. He comes across as a most unlikely rebel - he was widely praised for his calm leadership as he led the club to the NatWest Blast title in 2014 - and Warwickshire may come to rue the failure to manage him more effectively.Both parties believe that now is a good time for Varun to accept a fresh challenge and he is now able to talk to other counties in order to realise his own career ambitions, a statement released by Warwickshire says. In the meantime, he remains fully committed to the club and will continue to perform at his best through to the end of the season.Whilst everyone at the club is fully aware of his capabilities as a top order batsman, there is also a need to look at the development of the squad in order to be able to maintain a challenge on all fronts in the coming years.Everyone at Edgbaston would like to thank Varun for his contribution to Warwickshire over the last seven seasons.

LAS VEGAS -- Tyler Reddick crashed the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series playoff party.Reddick held off Brad Keselowski Racing teammate Daniel Hemric at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday night, leading 70 of 146 laps in the second Chase race.Unfortunately I was a spoiler for our teammate, he was right behind us and could have got into the chase himself, locked into the next round, Reddick said. We were spot on really, from the drop of the green to the end of the race. Everyone did a heck of a job all weekend long. This was not an easy weekend.Reddick and Hemric combined to lead 63 of the first 100 laps, and Reddick took the lead for good following a restart on Lap 98.Reddick joked he knew Hemric might be a bit mad at him. However, Hemric said he was happy his team was able to pull off the exacta.Its easy to be very frustrated but overall in the big picture its a huge night ffor Brad Keselowski Racing, Hemric said.dddddddddddd He knows my situation, and I know his situation and were both doing all we can to win these races. He did everything he was supposed to do.Cole Custer was thord, followed by Ben Kennedy and William Byron, the winner of the Chase opener last week at New Hampshire.The series will be at Talladega next week, with the eight drivers in the Chase looking to fill six spots available in the next round.Notably finishing 15th was Matt Tifft, who made his second start since undergoing brain surgery in June, when he had a low-grade glioma removed. Tifft made his return at Chicagoland Speedway on Sept. 16. The 20-year-old rookie has four starts this year, with his best finish of fifth coming at Charlotte in May. ' ' '
