Josh Baker: Worcestershire spin bowler dies, aged 20
“Josh was much more than a team-mate; he was an integral part of our cricket family.
“We will all miss him terribly. All our love and prayers go out to Josh’s family and friends.”
Born in Redditch, he came through the ranks at New Road and represented England at under-19 level.
He signed a three-year contract last year and played five Championship games in 2023 to help Worcestershire win promotion from Championship Division Two.
A club statement said: “More than his skills as a spin bowler, it was his vibrant spirit and infectious enthusiasm that endeared him to everyone he met.
“His warmth, kindness, and professionalism were remarkable, making him a true credit to his family and a loved member of our team.”
