ACADEMY FINALISE DATE AND VENUE FOR ECB COUNTY CUP QUARTER-FINAL

Worcestershire Academy have finalised the date and venue for their ECB Under-18 County Cup quarter-final against Northamptonshire.

They will take on Northamptonshire at Stourport on Sunday, August 7, in the 50-over competition after defeating local rivals Warwickshire in the third round last month.

The remainder of the quarter-final draw is Cricket Wales v Gloucestershire, Surrey v Middlesex and Yorkshire v Lancashire.

Before then, the Academy will look to build on their impressive start in the ECB Under-18 County Championship Group Two programme when they take on Cricket Wales at Abergavenny starting tomorrow (Tuesday).

They defeated Northamptonshire by three wickets at Kidderminster last week in their opening fixture, chasing down a 354 target and picking up 24 points.

Included in the 12-strong squad are Henry Cullen and Olly Davidson, who played for Herefordshire in a 50-over game against Worcestershire at Eastnor on Sunday.

Cullen will keep wicket with Joe Stanley captaining the side.
