Charles Dagnall launches his bid for a first team return with three one-day matches next week.

The former Warwickshire seamer, who joined the Grace Road staff this summer, has undergone a manipulative operation in an attempt to cure the hip problem which has been plaguing him since the early part of the season.

Although he has played in the Championship games against Lancashire,Hampshire, Sussex and Yorkshire he has not appeared in any of Leicestershire's one-day games.

But he is hopeful that the latest treatment will sort out the hip problem and plans to test it out next week. Dagnall has been pencilled in to play in the one-day matches against Northants and Middlesex for the Second X1 on Tuesday and Thursday, plus the one-day match against the Indian tourists at Grace Road on Wednesday.

Dagnall said: "If all goes well I will bowl 10 overs on each day, and that should give me a good idea whether the treatment has worked."

In addition to Dagnall there could be some other players given the opportunity to show what they can do against the Indians. Youngsters Stephen Adshead and Ashley Wright along with Rob Cunliffe, who is recovering from a broken finger,are all likely to be included.
