All-rounder Tom Taylor will get his first taste of red-ball cricket in a Northants shirt when the County's pre-season friendly at Hampshire gets underway on Thursday.

The start of the two-day match was delayed due to light drizzle, but Taylor, who signed from neighbours Leicestershire at the back end of the truncated 2020 season, has been named in the 13-man squad.
