Yorkshire Vikings take on Leicestershire Foxes in a South Group game at Emerald Headingley on Wednesday to kick-start their English One Day Cup campaigns. The good news for Yorkshire is the availability of England Internationals, Adil Rashid and David Willey. However, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow are unavailable for the Vikings.
Leicestershire Foxes have in the ranks Pakistan’s pace sensation Mohammad Abas to spearhead the bowling. Paul Horton and Colin Ackermann are among other pillars of this side and would play a key part in the tournament.
