Tim Paine's playing career looks set to be over after the former Australia Test captain was not given a new deal by Tasmania.
Paine, 37, has not played a competitive game since April last year after he resigned as skipper on the eve of the Ashes due to a historic sexting scandal. He later took a break from the sport, before returning to do some coaching with Tasmania towards the end of the Sheffield Shield.
And it now appears as though Paine's time as a player has come to an end, with Tasmania not including him in their contract list for the upcoming season.
