Derbyshire have named an 13-player squad for their opening Rothesay County Championship fixture against Gloucestershire at The County Ground, starting tomorrow (11am).
Wayne Madsen will lead out the side as Club Captain for the first time since 2016, as Derbyshire aim to make a strong start to the campaign on home soil, while overseas batter, Caleb Jewell, is in line for his Derbyshire debut.
Blair Tickner will arrive ahead of Derbyshire’s second game of the season, against Leicestershire, so the bowling attack will be led by Zak Chappell for this weekend’s fixture. Harry Moore misses out with a back issue, pending review from the Club’s Medical Team.
