Rapids Are Setting Early Pace In North Group

worcestershire rapids are the early pace-setters in the north division of the royal london one-day cup.

the rapids are the only side in the group to still have a 100 per cent record after victories over derbyshire falcons at New Road and yorkshire vikings at headingley.

since the start of the 2016 season, their formidable record in the north group reads: played 18, won 12, lost 4, tied 1, abandoned 1.

the rapids have named an unchanged squad for tomorrow’s one-day cup match with durham jets at south northumberland cricket club.

they will select from the 11 players who triumphed in yesterday’s thrilling four run win over yorkshire vikings at headingley plus paceman josh tongue and all-rounder george rhodes.

pat brown came into the side for his list a debut for the county against the jets after playing t20 blast and specsavers county championship cricket last summer.
