Peter Trego is promising an uncompromising performance as he comes up against his former teammates at Welbeck Cricket Club tomorrow.

Notts’ 50-over captain, is part of a 13-man squad for the fixture against Somerset (11am).

Trego played in nine of the Outlaws’ group matches in the Vitality Blast while captaining the Second XI and was given the nod to lead the Royal London Cup side after Haseeb Hameed’s call-up to the England Test squad.

In that role, he will now come up against some of his great friends from his Taunton days.

“It will be strange playing against Somerset,” he said.

“There are a couple of guys there I’ve played a lifetime of cricket with, the likes of James Hildreth, Steve Davies, as well as some guys who were in the academy when I was in the first team. But I’m sure they won’t be going easy on me so I won’t be going easy on them.

“It will be fun. I’m sure myself and Hildy will have a good laugh and I’d be amazed if one of us doesn’t run the other out at some stage.

“Some crazy passage of play is going to almost certainly involve me and James Hildreth.”

Trego's final memories of Somerset included being on the winning side in the most recent one-day final.

The relocation of the final to Trent Bridge this year, allied to his position as skipper, act as added incentives to taste more glory.

“I’ve never captained a team right through a competition and to be handed a trophy in a Test match arena would be an unbelievable experience,” Trego said.

“There are some pretty outstanding players across the 18 teams – from the likes of Hashim Amla to players in our side like Lyndon James, Liam Patterson-White and Joey Evison, who have bright futures in the game.

“It’s going to be an exciting competition.”

Meanwhile, the 40-year-old has been advancing his plans, having been a useful non-League footballer in his younger days, to write a third chapter in his sporting life by becoming a professional golfer.

He just missed out on qualification for the Open at Royal St George’s earlier this month.

“Whatever sport I’m involved in, I don’t have it in me to play just for fun,” he said.

“I have to be the best I can be and that’s probably why I’m still playing professional cricket.

“I will definitely be playing professional golf tournaments in the next 12 to 18 months regardless of what happens cricket-wise at the end of the season."
