Havant are without their key and often influential all-rounder Richard Hindley for the Southern Premier League Cup match against Portsmouth at St Helen’s, Southsea (12.30) – the first time the clubs have met in a derby since 2007 !
But Portsmouth also have a main man missing, as left-hand opener Ben Duggan is on holiday.
Portsmouth, who bring in Eascote raised Hemanshu Hirani (a 21-year old Middlesex age group bowler), after playing for little more than pride, having already lost twice and been deducted ten points for fielding an ineligible player early in the tournament.
Havant were well beaten by Alton, but enjoyed a comfortable win over Sparsholt last weekend. They give teenager left-hand batsman Ollie Perkins a chance at the top of the order.
Portsmouth: Christian, Hirani, T Wallis, D Wallis, J Marston, Smitherman, Kooner-Evans, Hammond, Woolf, A Marston, Webb.
Havant: Morgan, Harry Gadd, Hopson, Stone, Whitfield, Perkins, Bulled, Freddie Gadd, Jerry, Taw, Stares.
Weather permitting, table topping St Cross Symondians II face a potentially leg weary Hampshire Academy at the Green Jackets, neither side having announced their line-up.
Rain is, however, forecast in the Winchester area, with Sparsholt hosting Burridge, the Premier Division team anxious to avoid a third successive defeat.
Burrridge: Joe Collings-Wells, Shu Chowdhury, Hilio De Abreu, Chris Blake, James Hughes, Daniel Stancliffe, Jack Paskins, James Lamberton, Sullivan White, Mo Abbas, Oliver Southon.
Improving Alton, who have won their last two games, go to Rowledge, with the hosts weakened by the absence of several regulars, including Chris and Ricky Yates and left-arm all-rounder Jake Wish, who recently returned from Spain. Ryan Covey returns for the Brewers.
Rowledge: B Wish, Lloyd, Baker, Plater, Sebborn, E Martin, W Ryman, O Ryman, Randall, Metcalfe, Marshall.
Alton: Covey, Harris, South, S Myers, Wright, Gonella, Heffernan, J Myers, Salmon, Bochereau, E Ballinger.
