Here are details of our fixtures in 2013
The 2013 season fixtures have been released, and Lancashire's season has a more traditional look than recent times, with most of our home games returning to Old Trafford following the substantial rebuilding work that has taken place over the past two seasons.
There are two 'outground' matches, with Liverpool staging the LV= County Championship match against Gloucestershire at the end of May, while Championship cricket returns to Southport after a one-year break when Hampshire visit Trafalgar Road in August.
The action starts on April 10th when Worcestershire visit Old Trafford, in a Division 2 Championship battle between the two teams relegated from Division 1 last season, and finishes with a trip to play Kent at Canterbury from 24th-27th September.
The Friends Life t20 campaign features 3 floodlit, and two Sunday afternoon home games, climaxing with the clash against Roses rivals Yorkshire at Old Trafford on July 24th, while the feature game of the Clydesdale Bank 40 is against last year's winners Hampshire in August.
Start times for all the matches, and ticket details will be released in early 2013. Home games are shown below in red
