Glamorgan head to Derby for second One Day Cup match

5 Aug 2023 |

Head Coach David Harrison has named a 13-player squad to make the trip to Derby for the Metro Bank One Day Cup.

The squad is unchanged from Friday's defeat against Worcestershire which saw three players make their List A debuts - Ben Morris, Alex Horton and Ben Kellaway.

The latter of whom impressed with a stunning knock of 82 from 74 balls including 10 fours and one six in a confident-looking innings from the Newport-born all-rounder.

Although the One Day Cup curtain-raiser was a disappointing result for the Welsh county, Captain Kiran Carlson again proved a threat with the white ball in hand, taking four wickets. The skipper was Glamorgan's top wicket-taker in the format last season with 9 wickets.

Derbyshire also opened their One Day Cup campaign with a defeat on the road, losing by six wickets at Cheltenham against Gloucestershire.

"I really enjoyed getting out there for the first time. I had a lot of support from the boys in the changing room, taking the pressure off and telling me to play the way I want to play. Luckily it came off and it was a day I won't forget.

"We spoke in the changing room after the match and there were a lot of positives to take from the match at Worcester, especially how deep we took the game, there were a lot of positives to take in the field.

"On a personal note, it's just about taking every opportunity as it comes and at my age just learning and enjoying every moment I have out on the field".
