Lancashire sides for the 4 day friendlies:
At Surrey – G.Lloyd, A.Swann, R.Dravid, A.Flintoff, M.Chilton, J.Haynes(wk), T.Roberts, J.Wood, J.Anderson, M.Smethurst, K.Hogg.
At Hampshire – G.Lloyd, A.Swann, R.Dravid, A.Flintoff, J.Haynes, W.Hegg(wk),T.Roberts, J.Wood, J.Anderson, M.Smethurst, K.Hogg.
Home to WA – G.Lloyd, A.Swann, R.Dravid, A.Flintoff, M.Chilton, W.Hegg(wk),T.Roberts, G.Chapple, C.Schofield, G.Maiden, M.Smethurst.
At Glamorgan – G.Lloyd, A.Swann, R.Dravid, M.Chilton, W.Hegg(wk), T.Roberts,G.Maiden, J.Wood, J.Anderson, M.Smethurst, K.Hogg.
The sides selected for these matches are very much experimental and designed to determine the final couple of places in the squad.
Lancashire are likely to keep the following players at this stage – G.Lloyd, A.Swann, V.Mane, R.Dravid, J.Modanagopal, S.Young, A.Flintoff and C.Schofield.
It’s a real tough decision about who misses out amongst T.Roberts, J.Anderson, M.Smethurst, G.Maiden, K.Hogg and J.Wood. Two of them are definitely going to miss the cut and will be available in the draft. Performances in these friendlies will be crucial for these players!
