McDermott has also been named in the squad after signing a two-match red ball contract, in addition to his deal for the Vitality Blast. In 70 First-Class matches, McDermott has scored more than 3,500 runs at an average of 33.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old joins fellow Australian Marcus Harris as the second overseas player in the squad, replacing Chris Green, who was ruled out for the remainder of the summer with a fractured thumb.<\/p>\n
Joe Moores is also named in the squad and the 17-year-old wicket keeper batter will be in contention to make his First-Class debut at Blackpool after playing six times in the Vitality Blast so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lancashire are without Mitch Stanley due to a minor injury sustained while on duty with England Lions. Paul Coughlin continues to work his way back to full fitness, as Phil Salt continues his recovery from a finger injury with the ECB medical team.<\/p>\n
Ajeet Singh Dale, Arav Shetty and Luke Wells remain long-term absentees, while Jos Buttler, Saqib Mahmood and Luke Wood are all on T20-only contracts.<\/p>\n
