WORCESTERSHIRE under 17s hope to get their 2018 programme under way on Sunday against Nottinghamshire in a 50-over friendly at Royal Grammar School Worcester (11am).

The encounter with Warwickshire at Bromsgrove School last month was rained off.

The County want to use the Notts game as a warm-up for the Royal London One-Day Cup.

They narrowly missed out on the quarter-finals last season.

Academy coach Elliot Wilson has included seven members of the full academy intake for 2017-2018 in skipper Jack Haynes, Pete Clark, Xavier Clarke, Zain Ul-Hassan, Adam Finch, Mitchell Stanley and Matt Davis.
