Ireland's call for Grace Road

There may be a rare chance for Anthony Ireland if Gloucestershire decide to tinker with their side

Anthony Ireland is the only addition to Gloucestershire’s squad as they aim to close the gap on second-placed Derbyshire by beating Leicestershire at Grace Road in LV= County Championship Division Two.

Ireland, the former Zimbabwe seamer, is named alongside the XI that beat Essex a fortnight ago at Southend.

Steve Adshead’s career-best 156 not out secures him the wicketkeeping gloves ahead of Steve Snell.

Leicestershire face a late decision on their squad as they are involved in a NatWest Pro40 match this evening against Kent.

James Benning could make his first-class debut for the club at the top of the order after signing from Surrey last week.
