Glamorgan have injury worries ahead of the Twenty20 games

Glamorgan have several injury concerns as they prepare for a hectic ten days of cricket with the Twenty20 competition starting on Monday evening as Northamptonshire visit Sophia Gardens.

Robert Croft and Dean Cosker both picked up groin strains during the Wales-England match on Saturday, whilst Alex Wharf twisted an ankle in the warm-up before the international match and was forced to withdraw from the Wales team.

With Simon Jones and skipper Steve James also on the sidelines, Glamorgan were also dealt a blow earlier in the week when Andrew Davies broke a thumb in a 2nd XI match at Neath, whilst young batsman Jonathan Hughes also sustained a hand injury.

However, there is good news about Darren Thomas, who has returned to fitness following a knee operation. Darren was injured in the opening Championship match of the season, but he has come through a couple of 2nd XI matches, and with other players now on the injured list, Darren is poised to return to first team action in the Twenty20 games this week.
