David Hodgkiss, Lancashire cricket club's chairman, succumbed to coronavirus aged 71 on Monday.  Hodgkiss, who had been on the board at Old Trafford for 22 years having first joined in 1998, took over as chairman in April 2017 from Michael Cairns. He also served in the roles of honorary treasurer and vice-chairman during his association. 

"Further to the announcement from his family, it is with great sadness that Lancashire Cricket announces the passing of its Chairman, David Hodgkiss OBE," read a club statement of Hodgkiss who had some prior health issues. 

"David served the club with distinction over many years including holding the offices of treasurer, vice-chairman and latterly chairman. He was much loved by everyone at Lancashire Cricket Club and respected throughout the cricketing world. 

"Our sincere condolences and thoughts and prayers are with his family. A further statement will be released in due course but at this time we ask that everybody respects the family's privacy," it added.
