County 'have the right mix'

LEWIS is predicting success on all fronts for Gloucestershire this season.

The county have been the masters of the one-day game in the past few years, but the former Churchfields pupil believes they now have the squad to mount a considerable challenge in the County Championship too.

"I believe everything is looking very positive," he said. "We have made some good winter signings, particularly Upul Chandana, the Sri Lankan all-rounder, Kadeer Ali from Worcester and fast bowler Steve Kirby.

"The side is far more balanced and the squad bigger than in past seasons.

"We have the C&G Trophy to defend but I think the side this year will do well in all the competitions.

"Weather permitting we will be looking to make a positive start against Hampshire."
