A statement read: 'Worcestershire County Cricket Club is heartbroken to announce the untimely passing of Josh Baker, who was aged only 20 years old.
' The club added: '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. Ashley Giles, Worcestershire's chief executive added: 'The news of Josh's passing has left us all devastated. 'Josh was much more than a teammate; he was an integral part of our cricket family.
