“It’s a brilliant opportunity for our squad to show what they can do in white-ball cricket, and we’re excited to start this year in what should be a cracking day at Eastnor.

“There’s something really special about bringing county cricket to out grounds,  it creates such a great atmosphere. We’re hoping to see lots of supporters out there enjoying a great day of cricket.”
