Worcestershire Rapids match abandoned
Fri 17 Jun 2016
Leicestershire County Cricket Club is disappointed to announce that tonight’s NatWest T20 Blast match against Worcestershire Rapids has been abandoned due to recent unseasonal weather.
Aylestone was affected by flash flooding on Tuesday and the Fischer County Ground resembled a lake with the water subsequently gathering in the far corner of the ground.
Further rain has fallen either side of that particular deluge and although the club brought in heaters to try to dry everywhere out, conditions remain sodden and unfit.
An inspection has been conducted by match umpires Rob Bailey and Russell Evans, and they have concluded that the ground is unfit for play today.
More information for ticket purchasers will follow in due course.
