Following the abandoned game in the Royal London One-Day Cup against Hampshire last Sunday (3rd August), Glamorgan are set to find out what action will be taken on Monday by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
The 50-over match was called off because of a dangerous pitch in Cardiff when Sky TV viewers watched a Michael Hogan ball lifting off a length and hitting Hampshire batsman Jimmy Adams on the helmet.
With a second abandoned game last Wednesday due to rain at Swansea followed by today's defeat to Gloucestershire in the LV County Championship Glamorgan's fortunes have suffered recently as the small squad has failed to replicate the form they showed earlier in the season when they won four consecutive championship games.
We've lost three now but we won four before that, so it's important for us as a unit to stand strong, said Jacques Rudolph.
We've got a small squad but we've won four in a row with a small squad. You've got to get some resistance going, but we can't turn to the depth of our squad, so the people that are involved need to stand up and show strong character.
We've still got a few games left, we've got to turn the momentum round.
One positive that did come from the weekend was a Kent Spitfires defeat to Lancashire Lightning in the 50-over competition, which keeps Glamorgan in the fourth and final quarter-final qualification spot ahead of the ECB judgement and ahead of the team's trip to Lord's a week Monday when they play Middlesex. With four teams tied on 5 points and two games to go, the final places in the knockout out round may well be decided when Glamorgan visit Old Trafford to play Lancashire.
