Gloucestershire's Championship captain Gareth Roderick will be out for six weeks after breaking his finger, reports BBC Radio Bristol.

The 24-year-old wicketkeeper suffered the injury during Sunday's T20 Blast victory over Essex.

South Africa-born Roderick, who joined Gloucestershire in 2012, had two previous finger injuries in 2014.

Gloucestershire currently lie third in County Championship Division Two and are top of the T20 Blast South group.
