A spokeswizard for the British National Quidditch Team has reported that the team's seeker, Mr. Peter Quince of the Pride of Portree, has contracted dragon pox and is presently undergoing treatment at St Mungo's. Quince reportedly began experiencing symptoms early in the week and was quickly isolated from the rest of the team.

Replacing Quince will be second string seeker Cassius Lestrange (Chudley Cannons), who has played a number of matches this international rotation. All members of the team will undergo daily screening for infection for the next week.
