Worcestershire CCC’s home ground will be the venue when the Lions team face New Zealand A and Sri Lanka A in a triangular One Day series starting in early August.

The Lions squad will face Sri Lanka A at New Road on Monday, August 11 before they take to the ground again 24 hours later to face New Zealand A on Tuesday, August 12.
