County To Field Strong Line Up As Part Of Stourbridge Cc Celebrations

County To Field Strong Line Up As Part Of Stourbridge Cc Celebrations

Worcestershire CCC will be fielding a full strength squad in the T20 match which forms part of Stourbridge CC's 175th anniversary celebrations at the Memorial Ground tomorrow (5.30pm start).

Director Of Cricket Steve Rhodes has chosen the 12 players who are likely to form the nucleus of the team to take on Birmingham Bears in Friday's opening NatWest T20 Blast clash at a sold out New Road.

Specatators will have the chance to see the County's two overseas signings, John Hastings and Mitchell Santner, plus new skipper Joe Leach and big-hitting Ross Whiteley in action.

The match tomorrow – against a Stourbridge Invitational X1 – will follow on from a Worcestershire Legends X1 taking on Stourbridge CC at 1pm in another T20 encounter.

The admission price is £5 for adults and £2 for eight-16 year-olds. An optional two course meal is also available at £25 per head.

Stourbridge hosted Worcestershire first team matches each season for many years and happily the County's second team and academy sides are back playing at the Memorial Ground.
