Match Preview: Hampshire v Lancashire, Royal London Cup

Hampshire return home once again this weekend as they welcome Lancashire to The Ageas Bowl for another important Royal London Cup clash.

Rain thwarted an opportunity for Kyle Abbott’s side to claim back-to-back 50-over victories against Middlesex last time out and they’ll be hoping for better luck as they push for another positive result on Sunday.

Hampshire Squad:

A 14-man squad has been announced for Friday’s fixture.

Nick Gubbins returns to the squad following his ineligibility for the abandoned fixture against Middlesex. Gubbins starred with both bat and ball in the last home fixture against Sussex Sharks, striking a superb century and claiming four crucial wickets and will be an important figure once again.

James Vince, Liam Dawson, Mason Crane, Chris Wood and Brad Wheal remain absent due to their respective commitments in The Hundred.
