Opposition Report
Previewed by Jon Culley – ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay
- Captain: Haseeb Hameed
- 2025 Position: 5th (Group A)
- 2025 Most Runs: Jack Haynes (473)
- 2025 Most Wickets: Rob Lord (12)
Why they can win the competition: Having been in fine form in both the Rothesay County Championship and the Blast, there is plenty of confidence in the Trent Bridge dressing room and enough depth in the squad to mount a serious challenge for silverware on all fronts.
Player to watch: Jack Haynes, who amassed almost 500 runs in last season’s competition, has shown his quality in both red and white-ball cricket so far this season, averaging 51.63 in the Rothesay County Championship. He will be a key player for the Outlaws.
Young gun: Almost two years on from his sensational 10-wicket debut in the Championship, teenage off-spin sensation Farhan Ahmed has found first-team opportunities limited of late. This competition offers a chance to remind the senior side what they have been missing.
Final thought: Although their senior bowling resources take a hit because of The Hundred, Notts have solid back-up in the likes of Brett Hutton, Rob Lord, James Hayes, Lyndon James and Joe Pocklington. They should at least progress to the knock-out stages.
