Groups confirmed for 2015 Royal London Cup

The 2014 Royal London finalists, Durham and Warwickshire, have been drawn in separate groups for next year's competition.

Durham are in Group A where they will face a local derby with Yorkshire, while there will also be a local battle between Somerset and Gloucestershire.

Group B has a southern bias and potentially looks the tougher group with strong one-day sides Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Essex and Hampshire.

However, with Lancashire and Yorkshire being in separate groups it means no guaranteed Roses match in the tournament.

The format for the 2015 tournament will remain the same as this season with each team playing eight group matches - four home and four away - leading into a knockout stage. The exact fixtures will be confirmed later in the year.

Group A Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Durham, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Somerset, Surrey, Worcestershire

Group B Kent, Hampshire, Sussex, Essex, Lancashire, Middlesex, Nottinghamshire, Warwickshire and Glamorgan
