Callum Bentley will hope to hit the ground running with the third team, aided by a couple new signings from Sheffield United. Ozhare and Oveis Khan can both bat and bowl to add depth to another young squad.

Vice captain Liam Margison and Craig Wilkes offer experience with Isaac Wilkes and Harveer Batth as two of the pending juniors who again offer with both bat and ball.

Finley Parker-Wake is another strong to Bentley’s bow as a seam option. Oliver Heseltine and Ethan Shillito with bolster the batting line up as the side look to improve on last years relegation battle just they just avoided.

Today’s hosts finished two places above our third team and both teams will want a win to start the season.
