Nottinghamshire Outlaws aim to maintain unbeaten start to Vitality Blast as they host Leicestershire Foxes

Notts were hoping to field Imad Wasim for his first Blast game this season on Wednesday, but the contest at Lancashire Lightning was thwarted by the weather.

The Pakistani spinner played in the T20 international against England at Emirates Old Trafford on Tuesday evening but had received clearance to play at Liverpool.

During the winter Wasim had agreed a deal to return for a second short-form campaign at Trent Bridge.

Notts will entertain Lancashire Lightning a week later on Friday, September 11 and visit Derbyshire Falcons on Sunday, September 13.

Torrential rain prevented any play at Lancashire Lightning at Aigburth.The bad weather set in at lunchtime on Merseyside and never looked likely to relent as two sides with high hopes prepared to meet one another.

It was not surprising in the slightest when the umpires called the game off just before three o’clock, leaving the two sides with two victories and two games lost to the weather each.

The loss of Wednesday’s match left the sides tied on six points at the top of the North Group, with Leicestershire a point behind in third.

Yorkshire Vikings are currently fourth in the table with four points.Derbyshire Falcons are second bottom with two points and propping up the table with a solitary point are Durham Cricket.
