Luke Wright: Picked up an illness

Luke Wright: Picked up an illness

Sussex all-rounder Luke Wright has undergone blood tests amid fears he has contracted Dengue Fever during his spell in the Indian Premier League.

The 27-year-old signed with Pune Warriors for the Twenty20 competition, but returned home late last month for his uncle's funeral.

He had planned to rejoin the franchise team in time for Tuesday's clash with Rajasthan Royals but delayed his return after suffering with illness.

He wrote on his Twitter page: "Can't remember feeling as bad as I have the last few days. Had to have a doc come to the house as I have a serious fever.

"Got to go to A&E this morning for blood test! They think I may have picked up Dengue Fever in India. What ever it is I hope it goes very soon."

He later added: "Still waiting on the blood results but on top of everything I also have a really bad case of Tonsillitis too!"

Wright has played just one match in this season's IPL, in which he bowled two overs for 24 runs.
