Captaincy Picks for LAN vs LEI

Liam Livingstone

The Lancashire all-rounder put up a sensational show in his previous outing and would be determined to fire again. On a batting friendly-track, the leg-spinner conceded just 22 runs in four overs and also took a wicket. He then showcased his brilliance with the bat by playing a breath-taking knock. Livingstone scored an unbeaten 94 off 58 deliveries to take his side over the line.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler also played a vital role in taking Lancashire home in his previous assignment. Coming to bat at number four, the dasher gave the necessary support to Livingstone as the bowling side never looked in the contest. He eventually got dismissed for a well-paced 30, but his efforts proved to be fruitful. Not to forget, Buttler was also clinical with his glovework behind the stumps.
