MTB Northern Knights Head Coach Simon Johnston Names Squad for Opening Inter-Provincial Trophy T20 Festival
MTB Northern Knights Head Coach Simon Johnston has named a 13-man squad for this weekend's Inter-Provincial T20 Trophy festival at Pembroke Cricket Club, Dublin. Harry Tector will captain the team in the T20 format for the first time during the matches against North West Warriors (Friday 18 June at 4pm), Leinster Lightning (Saturday 19 June at 11am) and Munster Reds (Sunday 20 June at 4pm). Also included in the squad are Mark Adair, Graeme McCarter and Ben White; players who were involved in Ireland's recent tour of the Netherlands. MTB Northern Knights will be without Paul Stirling this weekend as the 30-year-old is currently in England playing for Middlesex in the Vitality Blast. David Delany is named in the squad for the first time this year having recovered from a knee injury. Speaking ahead of the opening Inter-Provincial Trophy matches, Johnston said: "We can't wait to get going in the T20 format this weekend. "A number of the guys have enjoyed successful T20 campaigns with their respective clubs, scoring big runs and taking plenty of wickets. "The three teams that we will face are going to be up for the challenge too, so we are going to have to make sure that we execute our game plans if we are to leave Dublin with maximum points on Sunday night."
