Worcestershire will not be signing experienced Indian Test bowler Ashish Nehra after he asked for more money and to change his start date.
Director of cricket Steve Rhodes had sorted out terms for the 29-year-old's arrival at New Road earlier in the week, but the deal is now cancelled.
"It had been cleared with the Board of Control for Cricket in India," chief executive Mark Newton said.
"But then he asked for more money and said the deal started too soon."
Nehra, who has played 72 one-day internationals, had been signed to replace Fidel Edwards, who withdrew from a move to the county after the West Indies Cricket Board ordered him to rest ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy.
