Despite the absence of D’Oliveira, the Pears’ top run-scorer in the competition this season with 448 runs including two hundreds and one half-century, Worcestershire do have options in their 15-man squad for the trip to Nottingham.<\/p>\n

Rookie batters Dan Lategan and Isaac Mohammed have shown their promise with the former hitting a career-best 78 in the commanding win over Somerset in the semi-final.<\/a><\/p>\n

In-form wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick, fresh from his 151 against Durham, could come in as a batter with One-Day Cup regular Henry Cullen behind the stumps.<\/p>\n

Left-arm spinner Fateh Singh could provide the slow bowling option if required with Tom Hinley also available to bowl left-arm wrist-spin.<\/p>\n

Worcestershire’s last major trophy was the T20 Blast in 2018 and, after narrowly failing to become the first club to retain the cup the following year, they reached the quarter-finals of the One-Day Cup in 2023 and 2024. <\/p>\n

“I’d like to think over the years we deserve a final,” Richardson said. “We’ve had our challenges in red-ball cricket and we didn’t quite get there in the T20s.<\/p>\n

“Everyone’s worked incredibly hard to earn a day out and hopefully win some silverware.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the absence of D’Oliveira, the Pears’ top run-scorer in the competition this season with 448 runs including…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-148181","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
