The match will mark Laxman's county debut although he has played in a minor league in 1995. The Indian is playing as a replacement for Australian Brad Hodge.
Manchester, which is home to a significant Asian population, would be expecting Laxman to be in full flow following his impressive show with the bat in the Test series which India won 1-0 against England.
"It has been a great few weeks for the team and for me. It is an honour to have been part of the win in England," said Laxman who made 205 runs at 51.25.
"I have been happy with my contribution because I have been consistent, even though I didn’t get a big 100 in three matches. I want to continue that consistency, and play some good innings for Lancashire.
"We are very close to being near the top of the table, and it would be fitting to end my stint in England by winning the title with Lancashire at the Oval." |
