Gloucestershire quarter-final fixture clash

Gloucestershire's home quarter-final tie in the Friends Provident Trophy will have to be pushed back from its original date because the County Ground at Bristol won't be available as the one-day international between England and West Indies takes place the following day.

The quarter-finals are pencilled in for May 23 and Gloucestershire have already secured home advantage after their abandoned match against Sussex on Friday ensured they would top the table, but England and West Indies will already be in residence at Bristol for the ODI on May 24.

"Our first choice would be to move the match so we can keep the game at Bristol," a Gloucestershire spokeswoman told Cricinfo. "The semi-finals aren't until July 5 so we have time to rearrange, but nothing has been confirmed yet and won't be until the opposition are known."

The final round of qualifying matches takes place on May 20.
