County Championship Division One 2018: Preview

7) Nottinghamshire

Despite the loss of their three top-order batsmen, the team restored their spot in Division One, lifting the trophies in both the white-ball formats. While Steven Mullaney is named the skipper, Tom Moores will be keeping wickets. However, this season will be far from easy.

After the retirement of Chris Read and Michael Lumb, Alex Hales has opted to be available for limited-overs only. Paul Coughlin has dislocated his shoulder while playing a match for the England Lions and Luke Fletcher has just returned from his head injury. However, Jake Ball will be back after being injured during the Ashes to support the bowling unit of the team.

The team has signed Ross Taylor for the early part of the Championship and have also signed the veteran Chris Nash from Sussex.

In: Paul Coughlin, Chris Nash

Out: Chris Read, Greg Smith, Brett Hutton, Michael Lumb, Brendan Taylor
