Washington Sundar is all set to make his Lancashire debut after he was named in Glen Chapple‘s 13-man squad to face Northamptonshire in the County Championship. Washington arrived in Manchester over the weekend and travelled to Wantage Road with his new teammates before training ahead of the Division One clash which starts tomorrow. “The 22-year-old all-rounder, who bowls off-spin, will also be available for the whole Royal London One-Day Cup competition, which begins on August 2,” Lancashire cricket said in an official statement.

Fresh from taking four wickets in the Vitality Blast final against Hampshire Hawks, leg-spinner Matt Parkinson returns to the red ball squad after missing the draw against Somerset whilst on international duty with England.

Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt are all with England for the white ball series against South Africa. Saqib Mahmood, who signed a new contract on Tuesday, remains out injured with a back stress fracture.
