Team news

Nathan McAndrew returns to the T20 squad after recovering from a groin injury. George Garton will see a specialist this week regarding a hip injury. 

Farbrace’s thoughts

"We are looking to finish the tournament well and put in two more good performances. We had two very good wins at Bristol and Cardiff against good teams last week.

"Shadab was superb in both games, especially as he was playing with stitches in his left hand. It is good to have Nathan back in the squad. 

"I have been impressed with how players who didn’t start in the team have come into the team and shown glimpses of what they can do. It’s two more opportunities for players to show they are good players in this format and deserve to be in the team."
