Lancashire Lightning Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Dane Vilas’ team has a lot of talent, but they will be missing key batsman Jos Buttler, who is still playing in the 2022 IPL, and pace bowler Saqib Mahmood, who is out for the season with a stress fracture. Nonetheless, despite the absence of those two players, they will field a very strong XI.
