Sleaford Cricket Club return to action this weekend as the new season gets under way.

The First XI will look to build on last season’s third-place finish in the Lincs ECB Premier when they begin their 2017 campaign at home to Boston on Saturday (noon start).

Overseas signing Rob Nichol (33) is likely to make his debut at London Road, while Sleaford have also been strengthened by the close season signing of former Nettleham leg spinner Adi Sreedharan.
