LANCASHIRE stick with the same squad for the final Frizzell County Championship match of the season against Gloucestershire at Old Trafford starting on Thursday.

Warren Hegg's side will have to bridge a 17 point gap in order to stay in Division One which would send the visitors down into Division Two.

If Lancashire and Gloucestershire end up level on points, Lancashire would stay up because they will have gained more points than Gloucs in the two head-to-head matches between the sides in this season's Championship (the two teams would have identical won-lost records, so the head-to-head is the decider).

Andrew Crook, the older brother of Steven Crook, could make his home debut after making his first-team debut in last week's match at Worcester.

Chris Schofield (fractured toe) and Peter Martin (knee) are still sidelined with injuries.

Squad: Warren Hegg (Capt, Wkt.), Mark Chilton, Iain Sutcliffe, Mal Loye, Stuart Law, Carl Hooper, Andrew Crook, Glen Chapple, Dominic Cork, Sajid Mahmood, Gary Keedy, Kyle Hogg.
