Captain: Naeem Ashraf
Professional: Kashif Saddique
Ground: Chatburn Road
Last season: Champions.
Nareem Ashraf: "We will have to rely on some juniors to come through and take their chance – but that is not a bad thing.
"We have people like Josh Marquet, Farouk Butt and myself with the experience and we want to pass that on and we have a tremendous pro with a proven track record in the shape of Kashif.
"Yes, it is going to be difficult – but you never know what will happen in cricket."
Prediction: Write the reigning champions off at your peril. However, the Lancashire Cup places appear the best they can hope for.
