“Due to current events, it was decided by @SussexCCC and myself that it would be best if I was back home in Australia. Hence I am now home and in isolation for the next 2 weeks. Having just been o/s, I urge everyone to please stay at home. It is the ONLY option for all of us,” Gillespie tweeted.
“Our club @SussexCCC have been amazing looking, after all, our players and staff. We cut short our pre-season trip to Cape Town and the clubs' absolute priority has always been staff and players that were home and away,” he added.
