Lancs suffer Hogg blow

Kyle Hogg

Kyle Hogg will miss the start of the upcoming domestic season

Lancashire seamer Kyle Hogg will miss the start of the county season after breaking a finger in training.

The 24-year-old broke a metacarpal in the fifth finger of his left hand at fielding practice on Tuesday. Although the injury does not require surgery or a cast, he is expected to be out for four to five weeks.

Hogg had enjoyed a fruitful pre-season campaign, taking 4-29 against Essex in the Pro ARCH Trophy victory in Sharjah.
