Tim Paine's playing career appears over with the former Australia captain not given a fresh contract with Tasmania.
Paine, who stepped down as Test captain in a texting-messaging controversy before last summer's Ashes series, hasn't been included in Tasmania's list for the 2022-23 season.
After taking time away from cricket after his captaincy resignation, Paine returned to the Tasmanian fold as an assistant coach late last season. But his playing career remained uncertain until the release of the Tigers squad on Thursday.
Paine, 37, is understood to be keen to remain involved in cricket in a coaching or development role, but his on-field career appears to have ended after 35 Tests and 147 first-class matches.
His resignation as Test captain last year came when he was recuperating from neck surgery. He made one appearance for Tasmania's 2nd XI before making himself unavailable for the Ashes and took an indefinite break from the game.
Tasmania's contract list remained largely stable with Billy Stanlake's arrival from the Queensland the most significant move. Tim Ward, the promising opening batter, who was the team's leading run-scorer last season with 552 at 39.42 signing a three-year deal. Peter Siddle will continue for one more season although has previously indicated it might be his last.
Tasmania men's contracts Tom Andrews, Gabe Bell, Jackson Bird, Iain Carlisle, Jake Doran, Nathan Ellis, Brad Hope, Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott, Riley Meredith, Lawrence Neil-Smith, Sam Rainbird, Peter Siddle, Jordan Silk, Billy Stanlake, Matthew Wade, Charlie Wakim, Tim Ward, Beau Webster, Mac Wright, Nick Davis (Rookie), Jarrod Freeman (Rookie), Mitch Owen (Rookie), Nivethan Radhakrishnan (Rookie)
