Trent Rockets have confirmed they have recorded three positive cases of Covid-19 within their men’s team.

Head coach Andy Flower, along with two other members of the team’s support staff, will be absent from Monday’s (July 26) fixture against Northern Superchargers after returning positive tests.

Steven Mullaney and another member of the team’s support staff have also been withdrawn from the match after being identified as close contacts.

Mullaney played in the Rockets’ opening fixture against Southern Brave, meaning Lewis Gregory’s side will make at least one change to their XI.

Paul Franks will step in as head coach for the fixture against Northern Superchargers, which is scheduled to go ahead as planned at 6.30pm.
