RISHTON have named former Pakistani Test batsman Asif Mujtaba as their substitute professional, in place of Jason Gillespie, for their trip to Rawtenstall in the Transco Lancashire League tomorrow.

Mujtaba is currently playing for Norden in the Central Lancashire League.

And Rishton are hoping to have either Ian Austin or Gary Yates in their side for Sunday's game at home to East Lancs.

New Zealand 'A' team player Tama Canning is Nathan Astle's replacement at Accrington following Astle's call-up for international duty.

The 23-year-old right-hand bat and right-arm medium pacer plays for Auckland and Western Australia.
