A regional red-ball competition is one of several options to be voted on by county bosses on July 7. The ECB have currently set August 1 as the earliest possible date for the start of the campaign.
Lancashire director of cricket Paul Allott said: “Preparations are starting to ramp up ahead of a county cricket season starting potentially as early as 1 August and this friendly will be a more than worthwhile exercise for our squad.
“We would like to thank Yorkshire for their co-operation and for hosting the fixture at Emerald Headingley, whilst Emirates Old Trafford plays host to England and the West Indies in a behind-closed-doors Test series.”
