Cobb expressed surprise and disappointment at being replaced as captain just before the start of the Blast season. His performance suffered in the Blast and he was not needed in other competitions. Northamptonshire confirmed Cobb’s departure by mutual agreement, allowing him to pursue cricketing opportunities elsewhere. Cobb’s most memorable moment for Northants was in 2016 when he helped them win the Blast, and he expressed his gratitude for his time with the club. Northants’ CEO also thanked Cobb for his service. The team hopes to secure the services of former South Africa seamer Rory Kleinveldt as their bowling coach for the 2024 season.
