HEAR FROM FONS

“Last week’s three-day fixture against Leeds/Bradford was exactly what we were looking for at this stage of pre-season. The lads got some really valuable time out in the middle, and you could see the progression across all three days - whether that was with the bat, ball, or in the field. It’s about building those habits and match sharpness, and I think we took some really positive steps forward as a group.

There’s a great energy around the squad at the moment, and that’s exactly where we want to be heading into another strong test this week. Facing Derbyshire is something the boys are really excited about - it’s another opportunity to challenge ourselves, keep improving, and continue building towards the start of the season.”
