Shaun Udal returns for crucial National League clash

Hampshire keep faith with the same eleven that pulled off the exciting victory over Nottinghamshire Outlaws last Monday evening under the Trent Bridge floodlights with the only alteration being the inclusion of fit-again spinner Shaun Udal.

Both Robin Smith and Nic Pothas are still troubled by their hamstring injuries and will miss this floodlit Rose Bowl match against league leaders Northamptonshire Steelbacks, which starts at 4.10pm on Wednesday evening.

Derek Kenway will continue to deputise behind the stumps for this crucial match, which is likely to be a sell-out.

Squad: James Hamblin, Simon Katich, Derek Kenway (w-k), John Crawley (capt), John Francis, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Will Kendall, Lawrence Prittipaul, Shaun Udal, James Bruce, Chris Tremlett, Alan Mullally.
