Trent Rockets Team News & Playing 11
TRT Team News
Ahead of Thursday’s home defeat to Manchester Originals, Trent Rockets made two changes with England’s Dawid Malan and John Turner making way for Sam Cook and Sam Hain. Malan’s absence allowed Joe Root to bat at the top of the order and we expect to see the same line-up for this match.
TRT Key Players
- Joe Root - The former England Test captain has the ability to play according to the game situation. Over the last 12 months he has developed a range of ultra-attacking strokes.
- Luke Wood - On a batter-friendly wicket, dismissing batters is particularly important. The left-arm pace bowler got the dangerous Jamie Overton out on this pitch with a slower ball yorker.
- Daniel Sams - The 30 year old Australian bowling all-rounder dismissed Laurie Evans and Jos Buttler against Manchester Originals at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
TRT Team Form
Trent Rockets come into this match looking to avoid their fourth defeat from their last five matches.
