Arron Lilley set to link up with MCC

Leicestershire CCC all-rounder Arron Lilley has been selected for the MCC ahead of their historic tour of Pakistan in February.

The 28-year old who enjoyed his first season with the Foxes in 2019 is set to head to Lahore to play a series of matches, in what is a demonstration of support for Pakistan's cricketers and fans who have been affected by the country’s decade-long exile from hosting international cricket, which came to an end last month.

Upon selection, Lilley said: "Having played with Ajmal [Shahzad] at Lancashire, we had previously spoken about the tour and I highlighted that I was keen to go if it was to go ahead.

"It is also a wonderful opportunity to play alongside the likes of Kumar Sangakkara and hopefully I can learn a lot from the experience."
