WORCESTERSHIRE’S OPENING WARM-UP ACTION FALLS VICTIM TO THE WEATHER

Worcestershire’s opening warm-up action ahead of the 2023 season has had to be cancelled because of the inclement weather.

They had been scheduled to take on Gloucestershire in two T20 matches at Bristol on Monday (March 20).

But Head Coach Alan Richardson confirmed that the fixtures have had to be called off after the recent deluges of rain.

Worcestershire will be hoping for better fortunes with the elements later in the week.

They are scheduled to play Oxford UCCE in the Parks in a three-day fixture beginning on Wednesday, March 22.

A two-day encounter with Northamptonshire at the County Ground, Northampton, is also planned to begin on Thursday, March 23.

It is hoped the two games will allow the opportunity for the entire squad to get in some valuable time out in the middle.
