Head coach David Harrison has named a 14-man squad for our Royal London Cup fixture against Lancashire.

Glamorgan will look to get back to winning ways as they return to Neath Cricket Club for the first time in 27 years when they host second-placed Lancashire in the first of two games at the out-ground.

The Welsh county come into the fixture off the back of a difficult period, losing their last three games in the competition.

Wicket-keeper Chris Cooke returns to the squad after his recent spell on the sidelines through injury, while seamer Andy Gorvin could make his first List A appearance of the season.

Last time out at Chelmsford saw Tom Bevan and Prem Sisodiya make their List A debuts, the latter of whom impressed by taking two wickets for 42 runs from his 10 overs with the ball.

Glamorgan currently sit seventh in the Royal London Cup Group B table with two wins and three defeats from their five games, while Lancashire are in second place, three points ahead of the Welsh county with three wins, one defeat and a no-result so far in the competition.

“It’s clearly been a tough period for us, to lose the last three games is obviously disappointing and we know we have to be better.”

“We have a big week coming up now. It’s an exciting prospect for us to return to West Wales with two games at Neath this week.”

“We know that we have to win our last three games to have a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals and we will work as hard as we can to do that.”

Head-to-head – Glamorgan vs Lancashire

This will be the first time since 2015 that the two teams have met in List A cricket, but the contest seven years ago, at Old Trafford was washed out after 52 balls. Lancashire have played three Championship games previously at The Gnoll – in 1937, 1956 and 1961 – but this will be the first time that Lancashire have played a List A game at the Neath ground having previously met Glamorgan in limited-overs cricket at Sophia Gardens, Ebbw Vale, Swansea, Pontypridd and Colwyn Bay.

As the list below shows of the last six home venues for List A matches between Glamorgan and Lancashire, Colwyn Bay has been the venue in Wales where the two teams have met recently.

22 August 2004 at Colwyn Bay – Glamorgan won by 5 wickets
14 August 2005 at Colwyn Bay - Lancashire won by 8 wickets
15 May 2009 at Cardiff - Lancashire won by 8 wickets
14 September 2009 at Cardiff – Glamorgan won by 27 runs
8 August 2010 at Colwyn Bay – Lancashire won by 8 wickets
21 August 2011 at Colwyn Bay - Glamorgan won by 69 runs

Glamorgan were victorious in the boundary-laden contest at Colwyn Bay in 2011 with the Welsh county posting 328/4 from 33 overs with Alviro Petersen leading the way with 144, full of elegant drives and massive blows over the leg-side in an arc between square-leg and long-on. One of his blows ended up in the hallway of a house adjoining the ground in Rhos-on-Sea as the surprised occupant opened his front door just as the ball sped towards the house!

Lancashire’s most recent victory in Wales in List A cricket against Glamorgan came in 2010, also at Colwyn Bay in a game when Steven Croft planned a match-winning innings of 93 in front of a decent-sized crowd of 3,500 as Lancashire comprehensively defeated the Welsh county by eight wickets with sixteen balls to spare.
