RAPIDS NAME UNCHANGED SQUAD FOR STEELBACKS CLASH

worcestershire rapids will select from an unchanged squad for tomorrow’s royal london one-day cup encounter with northamptonshire steelbacks at wantage road.

first team coach alex gidman confirmed that the rapids will choose from the same 13 players as they bid for a third win in four north group games.

the squad will consist of the 11 players in action in yesterday’s four wicket win over durham in a rain-affected game at New Road plus paceman adam finch and all-rounder george rhodes.

the rapids are currently lying in second spot in the group as a result of their superior net run rate with two wins from their opening three matches.

northants have won one and lost three of their opening four games and presently occupy seventh position.

it is a hectic period for the rapids with a home encounter again warwickshire next on the agenda on sunday – a game being televised live on sky sports (11am start).
