"Warwickshire CCC is deeply concerned by comments that have been used in this reported exchange. Whilst Ateeq left Warwickshire in 2017, he still has close connections with the club and within our local community. The PDC announced news of an expanded three-weekend, 12-event Women's Series in July, although the opening four events in Niedernhausen - scheduled to take place in August - were cancelled due to just 22 players entering. "We are excited he has agreed to lead us in the next phase of our ambitious plans as we look to build on the progress made since Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens took over the club in 2018." "After Linz I'll probably have a week off just to reset and (be) mentally and physically fresh for the tough preseason. It's going to be my first one and from what I've heard, it's a very difficult four weeks physically."©2021 Sky UKFootball
