Hampshire batter Jake Lehmann will miss their County Championship match against Glamorgan because of personal reasons.

The Rose and Crown have announced that the 33-year-old has returned home to Australia and will not feature in the game against the Welsh county which starts on Friday.

Lehmann has enjoyed a fast start to life at the Utilita Bowl, top scoring with 92 runs against Yorkshire and scoring 337 runs across three games.

The left-hander batter is the son of former Australia batter and Northamptonshire head coach Darren Lehmann.

He signed a two-year-deal at Hampshire in December and has scored over 5,000 runs in first-class cricket for South Australia with 16 career centuries to his name.
