NatWest T20 Blast Matchday Information – Nottinghamshire Outlaws, Friday, July 24 (Gates open at 4pm, 5.30pm start)
Weather/Refund Policy
The latest news, at 6.10pm, is that it has stopped raining and umpires Steve Gale and Neil Mallender have inspected the ground. It is still very wet underfoot at Grace Road and a further inspection is planned for 6.45pm.
Earlier in the day, it was announced that there would be a delayed start at Grace Road as it was still raining heavily and persistently at 4.30pm.
A 5-over game can be played as a minimum and that could start at 6pm with no overs lost at that stage, so the official cut-off point is shortly before 8pm. Please note that there may not be an abandonment until that time.
We will be live tweeting updates from the umpires as and when we get them, so please make sure that you are following us on Twitter - @leicsccc
If play is restricted to fewer than 10 overs because of adverse weather conditions and no result is obtained, then you may claim a cash refund (less an Admin Charge of £1 per ticket).
Alternatively, you can exchange your match ticket for another match ticket that will admit you to a Royal London 50 group game.
The full refund policy is available HERE
