BRISTOL: The Bob Willis Trophy match between Gloucestershire and Northamptonshire was abandoned after one of the non-traveling members of Northamptonshire, who came in contact with the playing squad, was found positive for Covid-19.

The match was called off before the lunch break on Sunday at the Bristol County Ground.

"Just before lunch of the first session of play, it came to light that a member of the Northamptonshire playing squad has tested positive for COVID-19," the Northamptonshire County Cricket Club said in a statement.

"Although the player was not part of the group that travelled with the squad to Bristol (and has been self-isolating at home), further members of the Northamptonshire squad have been in contact with the player within 48 hours of the player developing COVID-19 symptoms." IANS
