Worcestershire have cancelled their pre-season training camp in Abu Dhabi due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The county had been due to spend 11 days in the Emirate between March 18 and March 29 but will no longer travel.

In a statement, a spokesperson said back-up arrangements would be announced imminently.

"Contingency plans at WCCC have been worked on since mid February 2020 and we hope to be in a position to update members when these plans are concluded shortly," the statement read.

Worcestershire are the second county to change their plans after Lancashire abandoned their proposed trip to Dubai and South Africa earlier in the week.
