I thought Headingley had test matches removed from them. Has there been a change to this sanction?

They did just last year!!

So the Punishment wasn’t that bad hey!! They should of had a test match ban for 3 years pretty pathetic by the ecb…..

Jamie Overton on his first ever test wicket -

"Yeah - I think it was the 3rd ball at the start of my second bowling session"

Ha ha ha - its his first ever test wicket he KNOWS which ball it was - good luck to the lad

Anyone know what's going on? According to the Lancashire website Salt is available for tomorrow's game but no mention that Livingstone and Buttler are available to play.

Not sure, the info they release isn’t the best.

I guess we will find out when the squad is announced.

ECB decide if they play or not.

Lancashire lost Vilas and Jennings too, just Croft and David left who you expect to see batter wise.

India T20is ODIs will hamper the QFs and Finals day, the ECB sabotaging it to elevate the 100?

If the ECB don't allow them to play in a T20 its crazy, as if they need a rest. The cricket calendar in this country is bonkers as well, just hope Rob Key sorts it out. International's shouldn't clash with the conclusion of tournament's. Vilas back tomorrow thankfully.

It is case by case but even the LCCC announcer slagged them off for it once, something like "the ECB have decided that 4 overs is too much for Sajid Mahmood so he can't play today".

On the other had releasing Jimmy Anderson for finals day when he wasn't good enough to play T20 for England, so never played T20, always seemed to disrupt the team.

Rained off. 1 point apiece.

Agree with the comments on the schedule.
From what I believe what's further complicating matters is the one off test vs India which has been carried over from last year.
But yes from lancs point of view (and other counties) sadly the quarter finals and finals day clash with internationals. So it's possible we could go into finals day assuming we get their without 3 to 4 players.
