WORCESTERSHIRE have finalised the itinerary for their second pre-season tour of Abu Dhabi in early March.
The County will play a mixture of T20, 50-over and two-day red-ball cricket against an United Arab Emirates XI, Derbyshire and Middlesex.
The players will fly out from Heathrow during the early hours of March 4 and undergo warm-weather training on March 5 and 6 before their first match — a T20 encounter against the UAE XI at the Zayed Nursery ground on March 7.
After another day of training and preparation work on March 8, Worcestershire will face Derbyshire in a 50-over game in the main Zayed Stadium on March 9.
Following a break from training and action on March 10, the players will conclude the tour with three successive days of cricket.
Worcestershire will play a two-day red-ball game against Derbyshire on March 11 and 12 on the Zayed Nursery ground and wrap up the tour the following day with a 50-over contest against Middlesex at the same venue.
The squad will fly back to Heathrow on March 14.
