Northamptonshire rocked by Willey’s ankle injury
The 25-year-old suffered the injury during Friday’s NatWest T20 Blast game against Worcestershire and he is now expected to be out of action for some time.
It is a blow to both player and team.
Willey has recently established himself as a member of England’s rejuvenated one-day side and would be keen to back up those performances with his county.
