Worcestershire have announced the death of 20-year-old spin bowler Josh Baker, and paid a moving tribute to the young cricketer. The club has not said how Baker died.
Baker turned professional for the club in 2021 having risen through the ranks as a youngster, and made his first-class debut against Warwickshire at New Road that year.
The left-arm spinner made 22 first-class appearances for the club between his debut and his most recent match for the first team in April against Durham just a fortnight ago.
Baker played for Worcestershire’s second XI against Somerset at Bromsgrove School, taking three wickets.
Oon May 1 2024, just one day before his passing, and had signed a new three-year deal with the Pears lasting until 2025.
