A more serious back injury incurred at Maidstone in mid-July meant him missing his second benefit match against Hampshire at Canterbury in August and, at the end of the season Wright formally announced his retirement. Proceeds from his benefit year reached £3,716. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 486.
