EXPERIENCED bowler Steve Magoffin and fit-again paceman Dillon Pennington have been named in Worcestershire second XI’s squad to face Nottinghamshire at Stourbridge today.
Batsman Tom Fell is also part of the 12 with academy player Sam Flavell scheduled to keep wicket and there are two new triallists in Ryan Gibson and Dan Richardson who have played for Yorkshire and Staffordshire respectively.
Worcestershire are currently lying in fourth spot in the Second XI Championship North Division table after playing their opening three matches.
Coach Alex Gidman’s side went down to Warwickshire at Portland Road in their first game after both teams set up a last day finish.
They then shared the spoils with MCC Young Cricketers at High Wycombe and Lancashire at Barnt Green.
The five extra points earned from Tristan Blackledge and Zain Ul-Hassan’s defiant last wicket stand against Lancashire has made the difference between occupying fourth and joint sixth place.
