“The quality of cricket there is very high and we’ve picked a strong squad to mirror that, so we should hopefully see some exciting, competitive matches.
“Geraint Jones has been a fantastic servant to English cricket over the years and it’s great to have him lead our squad, all of whom I’m sure will do the Club proud by playing hard and playing fair.”
