Worcestershire left-arm spinner Josh Baker has died at the age of 20.
Baker was found dead by a friend in his apartment after he did not answer his phone.
The youngster has made two County appearance this season and on Wednesday, he had taken 3 for 66 in the first innings of Worcestershire’s four-day 2nd XI Championship match against Somerset at Bromsgrove School.
Baker made his first-class debut in 2021 and played 47 games in all formats, taking 70 wickets.
Baker was born in Redditch, and he came through the ranks at New Road and represented England at U-19 level.
He signed a three-year contract last year, having recovered from a back injury that he suffered in 2022, and played five Championship games to help Worcestershire win promotion from Championship Division Two.
