So Ali back and Miles returns. Hain has to sit this one out due to concussion protocol. Benjamin added after his 100 and double 100 in the 2’s.
Second match abandoned unsurprisingly.
First of 2 T20 friendlies this week at the Community Sports ground. Somerset today, Worcestershire tomorrow.
It’ll be interesting to see who lines up. Gleeson should be back from the IPL as his team have been knocked out.
As debut spells go that was pretty impressive

“Jamal looks like a bit of a trundler let's be honest”
It appears Jamal has been bowling with a back injury (recently diagnosed) which might explain his lack of pace.
Jamal added to the list of injured quicks

Warwickshire sign New Zealand right arm quick Michael Rae on a short term deal. In line to make his debut at Chelmsford tomorrow.
Took 3 wickets for Worcestershire 2nd XI only yesterday. The team played this morning but obviously when the news came through the game was stopped.
What tragic news, heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and team mates.
Called up to the Pakistan squad ahead of their tour of Ireland and England later this month.
Playing for the 2’s again today.
Notts win the toss and bat first.
Jamal makes his debut.
