Ian Holland, last year’s star for the Foxes with 38 wickets and almost 500 runs, will be crucial to his side’s success in 2026 once more. After the late withdrawal of Pete Handscomb due to injury, it was announced that he would in fact take the reins of the team, after briefly doing so to end the 2025 season.
While he is certainly a capable captain, it is quite possible that to lead the side, bat number three and open the bowling is going to stack up and weigh heavily on his performance. Leicestershire will want him firing on all cylinders and, while he has began the year in fine fashion ball in hand, his batting hasn’t flourished yet (he is yet to score over 20 in three innings).
