WORCESTERSHIRE director of cricket Steve Rhodes has named a 12-strong squad for the opening home NatWest T20 Blast match of the season against Leicestershire Foxes at New Road tomorrow (5.30pm).
Colin Munro is included after the New Zealander missed the opening game against Birmingham Bears because of his commitments with Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.
Munro and Alexei Kervezee are added to the players on duty in the 18-run defeat at Edgbaston minus Alex Gidman.
Worcestershire did not have a home fixture against the Foxes last summer when they reached the quarter-finals for the second time in three seasons.
But they won the clash at Grace Road by five wickets thanks chiefly to an unbeaten 67 from skipper Daryl Mitchell who was the Rapids leading run-getter last summer.
Rapids (from): Mitchell, Oliver, Kohler-Cadmore, Munro, Whiteley, Barnard, Cox, D'Oliveira, Leach, Senanayake, Shantry, Kervezee.
