Will Kendall leads out a young side for the three day match starting on Friday (9th May) against Oxford UCCE at The Parks.

Shell shocked from their defeat in the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy on Wednesday, many of the senior players are rested, before returning to action at Bristol next Wednesday.

James Bruce (pictured) and Mark Thorburn could make their Hampshire first-class debuts, having both played for Durham UCCE in 2002, and Hampshire have added a third debutant in Dominic Clapp who has played in one first-class match for Sussex in 2002.

Hampshire 12: James Hamblin, Derek Kenway, Will Kendall (captain), Alex Morris, Lawrence Prittipaul, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Shaun Udal, Iain Brunnschweiler (wicket-keeper), Dominic Clapp, Mark Thorburn, James Bruce and Chris Tremlett.
