Cumbria will play their NCCA Trophy semi-final with Oxfordshire on Sunday, August 7.
It’s a return trip for Cumbria who played the National T20 and Three Day Championship winners a few weeks ago when they staged a thrilling tie.
The match is being played at the Great and Little Tew club while the tie on June 12 was played at Banbury.
Cumbria have also confirmed that they will play the Lancashire County side at Sedbergh School again on Sunday July 31, in a repeat of last year’s NCCA Showcase game
With the game being 50 overs per side Lancashire will again be using the game as a warm-up to their Royal London Cup campaign.
As the match is being held at Sedbergh School it could be described as a home match for both sides as the venue is in Cumbria yet is also a ground which Lancashire use as an out-ground.
The match is free to attend and Lancashire, who even with absentees due to the start of the ECB’s new Hundred, are likely to field a strong side including the likes of captain Dane Vilas, Steven Croft and possibly Washington Sundar their Indian international overseas player in the Royal London Cup, who has just arrived at Old Trafford last weekend.
Before then, however, Cumbria have another three-day NCCA Championship game starting on Sunday against Buckinghamshire at Chesham.
Despite having played a match less, Bucks are currently just two points behind Cumbria in the Division Two table due to their maximum points, ten wicket, win last week in their opening match against current table leaders Hertfordshire.
That win was substantially down to securing a total of 446 runs in their first innings, thanks to centuries by former Worcestershire and Dutch international Alexei Kervezee and Whitburn’s Ross Richardson, as well as 96 from teenager Aadi Sharma.
Then 7 bowlers shared the 20 wickets as Hertfordshire were asked to follow on.
Bucks make two changes to the squad that defeated Herts. They are missing Sharma and Chris Marrow who are replaced in the squad by Michael Wells and Teddie Casterton.
Cumbria also make changes from their last game after pushing Cambridgeshire all the way at Barrow. Nathan Waterston, Marcus Stables, Sam Dutton and Finlay Richardson all play and replace Ben Davidson, Ben Walkden, Drew Postlethwaite and Josh Stirling in the line-up.
The Cumbria team is: Nathan Waterston, Evan Williams, Sam Dutton, Michael Slack, Gary Pratt, Matthew Sempill, Marcus Stables, Nico Watt, Brodie Glendinning, Finlay Richardson, Matthew Siddall.
