Glamorgan selectors have named a 14-man squad for the Vitality County Championship fixture at Derby.

The Vitality County Championship returns on Thursday 22 August and Glamorgan make the trip to Derbyshire in the tenth round of fixtures.

Having announced the signing of Fraser Sheat from New Zealand and the loan signing of Ned Leonard from Somerset, the two fresh faces add excitement to a spirited camp coming off the back of a successful Metro Bank One Day Cup run.

Sam Northeast takes over captaincy from Kiran Carlson for the red ball matches, as Glamorgan look to end the County Championship season on a high. Chris Cooke and Mason Crane return to the squad after their time with Welsh Fire in The Hundred.

View from the Camp – Glamorgan Head Coach, Grant Bradburn

“It’s nice to welcome some familiar faces back and some new faces into the squad, for this all important, final block of red ball for the season.

“There is a fantastic vibe in the camp and a nice confidence gained from the Metro Bank One Day Cup, which we will take forward into the championship challenges ahead.

“With some strengthening of our pace stable, we now have the welcome ability to inject fresh energy and to put out a well-balanced side in all conditions.”
