in the squad to face Leicestershire at Trent Bridge tomorrow (11am).<\/p>\n<p>Hameed leads a 14-man squad for tomorrow\u2019s Metro Bank One Day Cup clash.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

fixture and the trip to Lancashire on Thursday 30 July, with Jack Haynes and Ben Slater absent through injury.<\/p>\n<p>Dillon Pennington will also be available for selection, with the paceman having not featured in Welsh Fire\u2019s opening two fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw what George can bring to us in the T20 competition,\u201d said Hameed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe showed his quality straight away and became a big part of that side as a player and a person<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully he can add those qualities to our 50-over side too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd any chance you get to have Dill back with us is great.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a quality bowler in all formats so we\u2019re really excited to have him back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hameed made a half-century in Notts\u2019 opening win over Somerset at the John Fretwell Centre, before the Outlaws secured a second successive win over Warwickshire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m pleased with the start that we\u2019ve made as a group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always nice to go to Welbeck, and it was nice to get a couple of wins on the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were a few of us who had some time off during the T20s, and whenever we start a new competition there\u2019s a sense of excitement and opportunity, so we were champing at the bit to get going again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The winning runs against Warwickshire were struck by Academy graduate Byron Hatton-Lowe \u2013 one of many homegrown players to have earned an opportunity in the List A competition in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>And Hameed feels those experiences are beginning to pay dividends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact so many players have had a taste of first team cricket is a big thing to be able to draw on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExperience is invaluable when it comes to coping with pressure situations, which you get a lot of in white-ball cricket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got another competitive squad to pick from this week, and there will be good players missing out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that the eleven that are lucky enough to go out and play for us will give it their all to play for a win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Haseeb Hameed feels the experience of George Munsey and Dillon Pennington could be important, as the pair
