Derbyshire have named a 12-man squad for their LV= County championship match up against Worcestershire at New Road, starting on Monday 25 July at 11am.

Leus du Plooy will again captain the side, with Billy Godleman left out, while Harry Came will be looking to build on his impressive performance against Nottinghamshire last time out.

George Scrimshaw made his first red ball appearance of the season last week, and he’s named in the squad again, alongside Ben Aitchison, Sam Conners and Nick Potts.
