The contract was scrapped by mutual consent, with Somerset stating their desire to see Anderson back at Taunton at some point in the future
Corey Anderson's T20 Blast contract with Somerset has been cancelled.
The New Zealand allrounder was due to return to the club for the short-format competition later this summer but the impact of the coronavirus crisis and the uncertain nature of the domestic season have combined to scupper plans.
The contract was scrapped by mutual consent, with Somerset stating their desire to see Anderson back at Taunton at some point in the future.

Director of cricket Andy Hurry said: "The last few months have not been an easy time for anyone and the challenges of dealing with the impact of the pandemic within cricket have been unprecedented.
"I would like to thank Corey and his representatives for their transparency and understanding in reaching this mutual decision.
"It’s obviously really disappointing news to everyone as there was a real buzz around Corey returning to Taunton, however this decision provides Corey and the club with clarity in a time of uncertainty."
