Pre-Match Analysis:
Northamptonshire has announced 15 man-squad ahead of their first game against Worcestershire that includes some well-known names David Willey, Chris Lynn, and Andrew Tye. They couldn’t go big last year despite terrific performances from Chris Lynn, Saif Zaib, and Josh Cobb. Their bowling department has strengthened to a full extent with the return of David Willey who is also going to lead the side. They haven’t reached the final since 2016 and are ready to make a mark this year.
Worcestershire struggled totally as a side last year and hit rock bottom. They had challenges with multiple captains leading the side. Keeping in mind their disastrous show from the last year, Brett D’Oliveira has been handed the full-time captaincy role. New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell who was with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2023 has arrived in England and has been included in the 14-man squad. Pakistan spinner Usama Mir will replace Mitchell Santner for the first 3 games. The inclusion of Adam Hose makes their batting line-up formidable.
