Worcestershire are now back training at New Road after the successful 10-day pre-season trip to Abu Dhabi.
The players are being put through their paces in the cooler climate of this country after playing four matches against a UAE X1 (20 over), Derbyshire (50 over and two-day) and Middlesex (50 over).
Here are the scorecards from the county's four matches and now thoughts will turn to the pre-season programme in this country.
Worcestershire entertain Gloucestershire in a 50-over match at New Road on March 25 and then play host to the same opponents in a two day game on March 26 and 27.
