THE wintry weather continues to hamper Worcestershire County Cricket Club’s pre-season preparations.

The New Road side’s opening two-day warm-up fixture at Somerset last week was washed out without a ball being bowled, while today’s planned one-day game with Glamorgan at the SWALEC Stadium was also postponed.

The Glamorgan clash has now been moved to Friday, but the two-day match with Essex which was due to take place on Wednesday and Thursday has been cancelled because of the freezing conditions.
