Derbyshire Falcons have named a 14-player squad for this weekend’s Vitality Blast fixtures against Lancashire Lightning (Saturday, 3pm, Emirates Old Trafford) and Yorkshire (Sunday, 2.30pm, Queen’s Park, Chesterfield: SOLD OUT). 

Samit Patel will lead the side, as the Falcons take on both sides of the Roses clash on consecutive days, and they will be aiming for an eighth-straight T20 victory over Yorkshire in Chesterfield.

David Lloyd (hamstring), Luis Reece (ankle) both remain sidelined, while fast bowler, Harry Moore, will miss the remainder of the season with a back stress fracture.
