I fully understand why he chose to take a break with his family.
He has a wife and two young daughters who must have missed having him around for most the last year.
Very good to see Jacob Bethall is included in the squad for the first time.
I'd expect that the playing staff, and key support staff are probably taking regular tests to show they are covid free.
As a covid infected person can be contaheous for several days before they show symptons contat tracing takes place to find put, and then notify, anyone in contact with the covid infected person. Therefore it would not be a surprise if other members of the squad from the game at Leicester are found to test positive over the next few days.
I hope he is given the support he needs, not only to recover physically, but ensure he copes with the mental stresses of having to go through rehab and recovery again.
In many ways the mental aspects of injury and rehab are harder than the physical side of the situation.
Finals day is at, the wonderful, Arundel Castle ground next Thursday, June 24th.
Not sure if the captain indicator is accurate, but a great performance from Chris Benjamin.
Another trip to Newport CC to play Glamorgan in the tenth game, & final group game of the SE T20 competition.
Having lost the game yesterday, Warwicks have an 8-1 record so far, and did win a friendly second game yesterday afternoon.
I'd expect a very similar squad today.

Lost by 1 run, Velani making the most of his chance by scoring 62 off 54 balls, and was run out off the last ball.
Game 2 starts at 2:30
Game 9 (I think) of the SE T20 competition, can they maintain their 100% winning record?

Velani is a new name in the team, also Henry B returns.
Kish Velani is an ex Essex player, who career figures make Adrian Shanker's look good!
Another good win, and good to see more runs from Malan.

It's really annoying, and a waste of time when people post non functioning links,
VV is playing today!
Another round of the SE T20 today, to be played at Moseley CC.
Expect to see some new faces in the squad, as the T20 specialists will be with the first team.
14 man squad https://edgbaston.com/fixtures/first-xi/steelbacks-v-birmingham-bears-15-june-2021/
Yates out "illness 2 Hose & Henry B have hamstring injuries.
Who here would actually refer to have Viahari instead of Malan?
I'm sure Malan will prove to be a good signing. what we don't know is the size of the positive effect he has on the squad, with Bell, Trott, Ambrose and Patel retirng over the last few seasons, there's not a lot of experience in the changing room. something Malan was signed to provide.
14 man squad, Hose drops out through injury, Malan and Woakes added to the squad for the first two games.
Very pleased to see Ed Pollock got runs, he is a talented player, also yet more runs for Sam Hain, he's become a very reliable and consistant player.
Unchanged squad, as they probably stayed in Leeds overnight.
