Captaincy Picks for NOR vs DER

Luis Reece

Luis Reece has been Derbyshire’s stand-out performer this season and would be determined to put up another impressive show. The dasher likes to go after the bowlers from the outset, and scoring consistently hasn’t been a problem for him. He has, so far, mustered 351 runs in 12 wins. Reece has also scalped five wickets.

Matthew Critchley

Reece is certainly not the all-rounder who can trouble Northamptonshire in the upcoming contest. His teammate, Matthew Critchley has also been in fine form, and many eyes will be on him. Critchley has been taking wickets regularly alongside scoring runs. Coming to his numbers, the 24-year-old has scalped 12 wickets alongside scoring 252 runs.
