The John Player League
Worcestershire v Leicestershire
Leicester, the current John Player League champions, visit Worcester who won the title in 1971. Ray Illingworth leads a side which can include rising young star David Gower in the batting order, and the experience of Ken Higgs in the bowling; Worcester have formidable opposition indeed.
PETER WALKER introduces the programme which includes news of today's other fixtures:

Lancashire v Warwickshire Nottinghamshire v Somerset Surrey v Kent Sussex v Essex
Yorkshire v Northamptonshire
