London: England all-rounder David Willey and three other Yorkshire players Matthew Fisher, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Josh Poysden tested positive for COVID-19, the Yorkshire County Cricket Club announced on Wednesday (September 16). They will be unavailable for the two remaining Vitality Blast group matches.

All of them have been advised to self-isolate themselves for two weeks. Later, Willey confirmed he had tested positive and tweeted, “My wife and I received positive Covid test results. Gutted to be missing the remaining games.”

“Even more devastated that having been in contact with the other three lads Saturday morning (before we had symptoms) means they’re at risk and unavailable too,” the 30-year-old wrote in his Twitter.

All four of them have already missed Yorkshire’s 43-run defeat against Durham on Wednesday and will not be a part of games against Lancashire on Thursday (September 17) and Derbyshire on Sunday (September 20).
