COBB AND COX LEAVE VISIT WORCESTERSHIRE NEW ROAD

Worcestershire have parted company with experienced all-rounder Josh Cobb and young batter Olly Cox.
 
Cobb signed a white ball contract with Worcestershire for the 2024 season and played in 12 Vitality Blast matches.
 
The 34-year-old scored 271 runs at an average of 22.58 with a highest score of 74 against Lancashire at Emirates Old Trafford.
 
Cobb, who had previously played for Northamptonshire, also picked up two wickets with his spin.
 
Illness restricted his availability for the initial phases of the Metro Bank One Day Cup and he featured in just one match in the 50 over tournament.
 
Cox, aged 20, had been part of the Worcestershire Pathway since playing at Under-10 level.
 
He signed his first rookie contract for the 2023 season and it was then extended for a further 12 months.
 
Cox made his senior debut in a T20 match against the New Zealand touring side in August 2023 and scored 63 off 36 balls.
 
His only senior appearance last summer was in the Metro Bank One Day Cup warm-up fixture with National Counties side Wales.
 
Worcestershire would like to thank Josh and Olly for their efforts on behalf of the county and wish them all the best for the future.
