ADAM Finch returns to the Worcestershire seconds squad for the first of two T20 matches against Yorkshire at the Royal Grammar School Worcester tomorrow (11.30am).

The paceman missed last week’s three-day encounter with Glamorgan at Abergavenny while on England under 19s duty.

Finch played for the ECB Invitational X1 in a two-day warm-up against India under 19s and claimed a wicket when taking the new ball in the second innings.

He will return to Engand under 19 action for the forthcoming one-day international series against India.

Ben Twohig will again captain the seconds with Alex Milton keeping wicket.

Coach Kevin Sharp hopes the defeat against Glamorgan will prove to be a “good learning curve”.

The seconds lost seven wickets for 12 runs after tea on the final day and lost by seven wickets as the game appearing to be heading for a draw.

Sharp said: “The game was started on a pitch which had just a bit of live grass on it and it just nipped a bit and spun from day one.

“We thought it might actually get a lot worse but the pitch held together pretty well really and we scrapped our way to 269. We kind of did OK.

“On the second day we really started to bowl well by lunch-time and then we had a couple of rain showers that were a bit unfortunate because it got the ball very wet and it was like a bar of soap.

“It was very difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball and the spinner could hardly bowl with it.

“The lads stuck to their guns but they also played pretty well and a couple of their guys got hundreds.

“We got to lunch on the last day and then they were bowled out and we needed 164 runs to make them bat again and save the game.

“We were doing very well. Josh Dell played a wonderful innings, well supported by Alex Hepburn, up to about 4.20pm on the last day when we were 20 in front with seven wickets left.

“We then had an unlucky dismissal when Alex Milton was bowled off his pads and then we lost a lot of wickets quickly.

“It was a combination of a little lack of experience in the middle and the odd poor shot execution-wise that cost us there.

“It was a bit of a shock because it all happened so quickly and then they required 33 runs in plenty of overs so we lost the game.

“It was a shame because we scrapped pretty hard for most of it and for that to happen in a period of half-an-hour shows you what this game of cricket can provide for you.

“They were all disappointed with that. We weren’t at our best in that period and hopefully it will just be a good learning curve should we get in that position again.”
