Hope-Bell, Edwards and Wallace made first team debuts, as did batter Callum Nicholls, 22, and Australian paceman Connor O’Riordan, whose bid to develop in Wales after missing out in New South Wales echoes the example of county stalwart Timm van der Gugten.

Wicket-keeper Alex Horton, 22, was the top run scorer.

Nicholls and Hope-Bell played major roles in the dramatic closing win over Worcestershire, with Pontarddulais product Edwards marking his potential by taking three wickets after being thrust into the squad because of injuries.

“Of the younger lads, Jack Hope-Bell has been impressive throughout the tournament and showed again [against Worcestershire] he’s got a future here,” said Harrison.

“Callum Nicholls has had a couple of scores and to get 70 in a chase was really good. There’s a lot of experience for some of the younger players and it’s shown we’ve got a bright future ahead.”

Glamorgan are far from unique in blooding youngsters in the One Day Cup while some of their star names are away at the Hundred franchise tournament, but the perennial ambition to have a Welsh core to the team looks closer to fulfilment than has been the case since the noughties.

As well as those used, 18-year-old seam bowler Tom Norton – a breakout star of recent Championship games – missed the competition because of a back problem which will probably keep him out for the season, while batter Jacob Blades recently played for England under-19s at the age of 17.

“You’ve always got to plan for the future and this competition gave us that opportunity to develop a few of our players, playing against Ben Stokes for Durham is a great experience when they’ve watched him on TV playing for England.”

Captain Andy Gorvin, the oldest player at 29 for several matches, was compared to a school-teacher in charge of the youngsters by one opposition commentator.

“My family did tell me about that! I try to help in whatever way I can and when it doesn’t go right, it’s how to keep the guys going,” said Gorvin.

“The most important thing about sport is having the resilience to come back the next day. They’ve always tried to improve, it’s a three-week block with eight games so you improve on the job and I’ve tried to guide as well as I can, and I’ve got to improve as well.”

Trent Rockets are relying on a favour from Manchester Super Giants after a six-match winning run was ended by Southern Brave at Trent Bridge to deny them direct progress to Sunday’s final.

The league leaders must now await the outcome of second-placed SunRisers Leeds’ trip to Manchester Super Giants on Tuesday to discover whether they will have to go through an eliminator.

SunRisers can snatch top spot and a ticket straight to Lord’s with a win as their net run rate is superior to the Rockets’. But a Super Giants win would move them level on points with SunRisers on 20 and potentially even up to second with a big enough margin of victory.

South African Tristan Stubbs saw Brave home with three balls to spare after hitting 52 not out off 28 balls, but the game changed on Marcus Stoinis’ arrival at the crease with the score on 78-3 at halfway chasing 159 for victory.

The Australian dispatched his first three balls for six, four and six to signal his intent and his 46 off 25 changed the game.

The Rockets’ total of 158-5 was boosted by an unbroken stand of 66 in 39 balls between Mitchell Santner (35no) and Lewis Gregory (28no).

Prior to that opener Finn Allen (23 off 12) and Aneurin Donald (19 off nine) had created the early momentum.

Reflecting on Brave’s campaign, Stubbs said: “It’s been disappointing, but it’s a nice way to finish off. In hindsight it’s a bit frustrating.

“We gave it our all for the month but in the first three games we lost a couple of close ones and then it’s hard to get momentum.

“I think we’ve shown at the end what we can do but it took us a while to get there.”

Man City are in ongoing talks with Lille for Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.

Personal terms have been in place for a while with the 18-year-old as the clubs work to find an agreement.

As things stand, City do not consider talks with Barcelona for Rodri to be active after what they felt was a derisory opening offer, understood to be worth in the region of £40m.

The Spain captain is due to report back at City on Friday following his post-World Cup break. He has one year left on his deal and City would like him to renew.

Sky Sports News understands Barcelona are considering their next offer for the 30-year-old.

Alongside Bouaddi, City are interested in several other midfielders, who could be turned to in the event of further sales. Chelsea‘s Enzo Fernandez is a player that they have on their list this summer.

Chelsea value the Argentina midfielder at £120m. He shared a strong working relationship with new City boss Enzo Maresca at Chelsea.

Who could leave Manchester City?

In terms of outgoings, City are aware of interest from Nottingham Forest in midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who was signed from AC Milan last summer for £46m.

Mateo Kovacic is expected to stay and see out the final year of his deal at the Etihad.

Midfielder Nico Gonzalez has said he wants to stay, but it remains to be seen if his opportunities will improve under Maresca.

The City boss has said Omar Marmoush will decide his future at City, likening his situation to James Trafford‘s who has subsequently joined Leeds United.

Marmoush wants to play more minutes, and Maresca has left the door open for that to happen under him at City this season.

At this stage, there has been no fresh contact for Tottenham target Savinho, who wants to leave City to join Spurs.

Meanwhile, Vitor Reis is expected to stay with Man City this season and fight for a first-team place.

The 20-year-old Brazilian has impressed new manager Enzo Maresca on the Far East tour, after spending last season on loan at sister club Girona. He joined City 18 months ago for just under £30m.

Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, Rayan Cherki and England players Marc Guehi and Elliot Anderson are due back at City on Wednesday.
