Went and watched a 2nd XI game the other week and liked the look of Sheridon.

All for seeing if he’s one for the future and giving him a month in and around the first team and see what he can do!

Good work Foxes 🙌

Was a really strange chase, didn’t seem to have any urgency early doors and not as much as needed, towards the end either

If it’s 160 then fine but 188 was too much, the bigger issue was the bowling.

I’ll say it again, I want to see Alex Green and at Hull’s expense too!

[Leicestershire County Cricket Club🦊 @leicsccc]

RESULT | Rapids win by 18 runs.

Two great knocks from Cox and Kelly aren't enough to get us over the line.

#Foxes🦊

[The Fox 🦊 @TheFox_LCCC]

@rowleydan He’s in the squad so fingers crossed he plays. If it comes to it, I’d rather Green over Hull

[The Fox 🦊 @TheFox_LCCC]

🚀 Alex Green Could Be Leicestershire’s Unexpected X-Factor in the 2026 Blast

With the T20 kicking-off tomorrow at Grace Road, is now the time to throw Alex Green into the side and give him an extended run after his impressive displays last summer in the ODC?

[The Fox 🦊 @TheFox_LCCC]

@willworthers @rowleydan Not sure yet tbh. Wrong time of season to make a great impact with the ball.

Looks a very decent #9 bat and think he’s more of a containing bowler to allow to rotate the bowlers but is that a good thing 🤔

[The Fox 🦊 @TheFox_LCCC]

✍️ Helm Short-Term Deal Suggests Foxes Looking For Difference

The Foxes announced a short-term loan deal for Middlesex paceman Tom Helm earlier today with Josh Davey out injured, but does this signing suggest the Foxes have identified a need to find a bowling spark through pace?
