Lancashire Lightning squad named to face Leicestershire Foxes
Head Coach Steven Croft has named a 14-man squad for Lancashire Lightning’s Vitality Blast fixture against Leicestershire Foxes on Friday evening.
Tom Aspinwall has been named in the squad for the first time this season after making his return to action for Lancashire's Second XI against Yorkshire on Wednesday. The 22-year-old all-rounder bowled four overs and batted at seven during a narrow one-run defeat at Westhoughton.
Rocky Flintoff - who is yet to make his professional T20 debut - has also been named in a Vitality Blast matchday squad for the first time.
James Anderson, Jack Blatherwick and Paul Coughlin all miss out on the squad after picking up injuries during the opening stages of the Blast. They join long-term absentees Ajeet Singh Dale, Arav Shetty and Luke Wells on the sidelines.
Mitch Stanley is currently away with England Lions while Jos Buttler, Phil Salt and Luke Wood are at the Indian Premier League. Liam Livingstone's Sunrisers Hyderabad were knocked out of the tournament last night.
The match begins at 6.30pm at Emirates Old Trafford and forms part of another Vitality Blast double header as Lancashire Thunder also take on Somerset Women at 2.30pm.
Lancashire Lightning squad to face Leicestershire Foxes:
Keaton Jennings (C), Tom Aspinwall, Tom Bailey, George Balderson, Charlie Barnard, Rocky Flintoff, Chris Green, Tom Hartley, Matty Hurst, Michael Jones, Saqib Mahmood, Ben McDermott, Joe Moores, Harry Singh
