Essex v Glamorgan Metro Bank One-Day Cup Preview & Squad

19 Aug 2025 | Cricket

The 13-player squad has been released for the trip to Chelmsford to face Essex in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup on Wednesday 20 August in a day/night game starting at 2pm. 

Interim Head Coach David Harrison announced the squad to face an in-form Essex at Chelmsford, as Glamorgan look to register their first win ahead of the push for County Championship promotion in September.

The unchanged squad to face Essex is as follows: 

1. Kiran Carlson (c)
2. Henry Hurle
3. Billy Root
4. Andy Gorvin
5. Callum Nicholls
6. Ben Morris
7. Ned Leonard
8. Zain ul Hassan
9. Will Smale
10. Asa Tribe
11. Romano Franco
12. Dan Douthwaite
13. Eddie Byrom

Glamorgan will look to continue on the positive start with the bat provided by in-form opening batter Eddie Byrom, who averages over 70 runs in the last two games. Zain ul Hassan bowled a tidy and economical spell with the new ball on Sunday at home against Notts Outlaws, along with young left-arm spinner Romano Franco who impressed in the middle-overs with his disciplined spell.
