WORCESTERSHIRE have been drawn away to Cornwall in the third round of next season's Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy.
The tie will be played on Wednesday, May 29 at a venue to be decided, with the winners facing a trip to Ireland or Nottinghamshire in the fourth round on June 18.
The first two rounds of next year's competition were played at the end of this season to allow Minor Counties sides more time to prepare for hosting a first-class county.
Meanwhile, former Worcestershire and England spinner Richard Illingworth has announced his retirement from first-class cricket.
Illingworth has opted to cut short a two-year contract with Derbyshire after a frustrating season with his fitness.
The 38-year-old was released from New Road last year after 19 seasons with the County, in which he took over 1,000 wickets in all forms of cricket. He also played nine Test matches, taking the wicket of West Indies' Phil Simmons with his first delivery.
