SPARKS LOOK TO MAINTAIN 100 PER CENT RECORD IN NEW ROAD FIXTURE

Central Sparks will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent record in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy when they take on Thunder at New Road on Saturday.

Sparks have won their opening three matches and currently head the eight-team table in the 50 over competition.

They have overcome Northern Diamonds at Headingley, Western Storm at Edgbaston and Southern Vipers at Hove.

The squad for this season includes four Worcestershire Women’s Rapids players in Emily Arlott, Sarah Glenn, Clare Boycott and Chloe Hill.

Arlott earned her first England call up this week with Glenn and fellow Sparks player Amy Jones, who are also part of the squad to face India in a Test match at India beginning next Wednesday.

The Sparks, who finished runners-up in their group in 2020, are playing four matches at New Road this summer – on August 28, August 30 and September 12.

Tickets for Saturday’s fixture are priced just £10 for adults and £1 for juniors and are available by clicking here
