Shropshire’s Development XI will wrap up their season by playing two Twenty20 matches against Lancashire Academy at Wrekin College on Friday.

Left-arm spinner Sam Baugh, a regular member of the Bridgnorth team chasing promotion from the first division of the Birmingham League, will captain a 12-man squad.

Ian Roe, Shropshire’s Development XI coach, said: “It’s always good for the players to test themselves against a first-class county. It’s something they welcome and are looking forward to.

“It’s a nice fixture to end what’s been an enjoyable season. The side has been well led by Sam Baugh, who has done a very good job as captain and reads the game well.”

He added his thanks to Dave Nock for supporting him in a coaching role during a season which has also seen the Shropshire Development XI play games against Shrewsbury School, Northamptonshire under-19s and Cheshire’s Development XI.

Friday’s opening T20 game against Lancashire at Wrekin College, pictured, will start at 11am.
