Incredibly sad news that Worcestershire spinner Josh Baker has died at the age of 20. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/cpegzx4kz5xo

He played in a second XI game earlier this week.

I'm sure everyone on here, and at Warwickshire, would want to join me in offering sincere condolences to his family and friends. Tragic news.

Apparently a heart attack (so I've been told).

Took 3 wickets for Worcestershire 2nd XI only yesterday. The team played this morning but obviously when the news came through the game was stopped.
