Northamptonshire batsman Alex Wakely’s testimonial year has been postponed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The club had announced the decision to reward their former captain with a testimonial year in 2020 earlier this month. All events that had been announced, including a special evening with former England captain Alastair Cook and ex-rugby union player Dylan Hartley at Bedford School, have been cancelled.

“Thank you to everyone that has helped to this point and I hope I can persuade you to help me again me when we start next year, stay safe!”
