Last year’s finish: 9th (bottom) in the North Group
Tournament history: Three tournament wins (2004, 2006, 2011) make Leicestershire the most successful T20 side in the domestic game, but they’ve finished second-bottom and bottom of their group in the last two seasons.
Key player: Colin Ackermann. He grabbed headlines last year with record-breaking figures of 7-18 against Birmingham Bears, but the skipper and Netherlands international was also his side’s leading run-scorer in the 2019 Blast.
