Worcestershire have been forced to move their two home pre-season friendlies to Kidderminster's Chester Road ground.
The county’s New Road home was hit by flooding over the winter, so the groundstaff need more time to prepare for this year’s first competitive game - the LV= County Championship visit of Kent from April 13.
Thee one-day matches versus Gloucestershire on March 24 and Glamorgan on March 31 will therefore be played at Chester Road. Admission for both is free.
