Derbyshire have named a 14-player squad for their huge Rothesay County Championship fixture against Leicestershire starting tomorrow at The Central Co-op County Ground (11am).

The Opposition
Leicestershire sit top of Division Two, with a Championship-high five wins for the season so far and just one defeat to their name.
Lewis Hill is Leicestershire’s leading run-scorer with 562 runs, but’s with the ball the league-leaders have been most effective, as Logan van Beek (30 wickets), Ben Green (29 wickets) and Ian Holland (28 wickets) are all among the most prolific bowlers in the division this season.
