Quarter Final Target

NOTTS head coach Mick Newell has said the club’s progression in Twenty20 campaigns in the last two years will stand them in good stead for a crack at this year’s title.

Notts begin their group games on June 13 against Yorkshire at Headingley and Newell is optimistic a last eight spot is again a realistic target.

He said: “Our first two or three Twenty20 campaigns were hopeless where as now we’ve had a finals day and a quarter final and I think a quarter final has to be your minimum target.”

“It’s financially beneficial to the club to get there plus the players want to get there and get out of the group.”
