KABIR Ali has been declared fit for tomorrow’s NatWest Pro40 away clash with Lanca-shire Lightning (1.45pm).

The country's leading wicket-taker in the County Cham-pionship missed this week’s LVCC Division Two match with Derbyshire at New Road with a back injury.

However, the 27-year-old has been named in the 12-man squad that will make the trip to Old Trafford, replacing Si-mon Jones.

After losing their opening game against Nottingham-shire Outlaws and being rain-hit against Susses last week, the reigning champions will be keen to get their first victory in defence of their crown.

Veteran County batsman Graeme Hick will be keen to hit the 33 runs he needs to top 22,000 List ‘A’ runs.
