Loye encouraged by batsmen

Mal Loye has been delighted by how sharp Derbyshire’s batsmen have looked in training, as the side step up their preparations for the new season. 

The squad are working at Repton School since returning to training, with the 2020 campaign set to begin in August, and Assistant Coach (Batting Lead), Loye, is pleased with how quickly the players have progressed.

“I’ve been quite surprised by our batters, because it hasn’t taken them long at all to get up to speed,” said Loye.

“The bowling is a little bit different, because they have got to get their overs in, and get the time in their legs. I think the batting has been a little bit easier for those skills and preparation.

“I’m very pleased by the way it hasn’t taken the players long to get back into it.”
