Glamorgan selectors have announced a 15-man squad for the final Group B clash against Yorkshire Vikings at Sophia Gardens.
After a narrow defeat at Grace Road against Leicestershire Foxes, Glamorgan face Yorkshire Vikings on Wednesday 14 August at Sophia Gardens to secure a home semi-final.
Yorkshire Vikings are placed 5th in Group B after their win against Warwickshire at Scarborough and need a win to have any hopes of making it into the knockout spots.
Going into the final matchday of Group B, a Glamorgan win would all but secure a home semi-final on Sunday, 18 August. Should Glamorgan lose, there is still a chance for a home semi-final if both Warwickshire and Leicestershire Foxes lose their final games. If Glamorgan are placed second in the table then there will be a home quarter-final on Friday, 16 August.
Ben Kellaway makes a comeback from an injury which kept the ambidextrous spinner out for two games, with the remainder of the squad retained from the trip to Leicestershire. Eddie Byrom, Zain ul Hassan, James Harris and Chris Cooke continue to work on their comeback from injuries.
The squad is as follows:
05/ Kiran Carlson (c)
13/ Tom Bevan
88/ Dan Douthwaite
11/ Andy Gorvin
37/ Alex Horton
06/ Henry Hurle
41/ Colin Ingram
08/ Ben Kellaway
35/ Jamie McIlroy
18/ Ben Morris
16/ Sam Northeast
07/ Billy Root
55/ Asa Tribe
28/ Will Smale
64/ Timm van der Gugten
