Leicestershire have added fast bowler Devon Malcolm and batsman Ron Cunliffe to their squad for their fourth round C&G Trophy match against Sussex at Grace Road.

The side will be chosen after a final practice session on Tuesday, but coach Phil Whitticase indicated it could well be unchanged despite the disappointing defeat in the Norwich Union League clash with Somerset on Sunday.

Whitticase said: "It wasn't a good performance and the way we batted was particularly disappointing. But there is no cause to panic. We have had a good chat about where we have gone wrong in the last couple of games - and there have been a few home truths.

"We have not batted well as a unit,and that's something we have to put right. But personally I am a believer in sticking to the same routine so that everyone knows their job.

"Despite the blip it has still be a good start to the season and there is no cause for panic.But this is undoubtedly a big match for us and one we need to win. If we do it will put us in the quarter finals and re-ignite the season."

One player who will be looking to do well is Darren Stevens. He has had a fine start to the season, winning the Bland Bankart "Cricketer of the Month" award for April and May when he scored 445 runs at an average of 63.57.

The Leicestershire squad is: Wells (capt),Ward, Sutcliffe, Maddy, Flower, Stevens, Burns, DeFreitas, Grove, Crowe, Whiley, Malcolm, Cunliffe.
