With captain Michael Porter unavailable and Bradley Currie still not well enough to play following a stomach virus, Bashley (Rydal) have the experienced spin all-rounder Simon Watkins for the visit of ECB Southern Premier Division rivals Alton to the BCG.
New recruit Zach Millar, who top scored in last week’s dramatic six-run win at Havant, is another absentee, with his place being filled by returning teenager Alex Turner.  Gavin Bailiff comes in for Porter.
Second team skipper Ross Grierson not unsurprisingly retains his place after his career-best 7-37 wrecked Havant last week.
Bashley (Rydal): Watkins, McManus, A Turner, Digby, Kennett, Taylor, Morris, Holly, Watkins, Lewis, Grierson, Bailiff.
Alton:  Mike Heffernan, Marais, Paul, Harris, Myers, Mark Heffernan, Mike Salmon, Scott, Mortimer, Toby Salmon, Ballinger

South Wilts strengthened their top table standing with a 70-run win over Basingstoke & North Hants last week – a result which coincided with Bashley (Rydal) defending a meagre 102 and winning at champions Havant.
Former Wimborne & Colehill spin all-rounder Joe Weld makes his full South Wilts debut at Burridge, replacing medium-paceman Steve Warner who is celebrating the birth of a baby son.
South Wilts: Morton, Cowley, Wade, Draper, Hayward, Mynott, Godsal, Weld, Hibberd, Evans, Murray.
Teenage all-rounder George Pardoe returns to the Hampshire Academy side following a back injury. The county youngsters host St Cross Symondians on the Ageas Bowl Nursery Ground, 11am.
St Cross lie second in the Time pennant log having won three of their five all-day games.
Young Lee Ayers, who was named Hampshire Under-15 player-of-the-year two seasons ago, will be keen to catch the eye of the county junior age group selectors on his full St Cross debut.
He has rattled off centuries against Plymouth College and King Edward VI (Southampton) in the past two weeks, in addition to making 77 for Dauntsey’s against the MCC in midweek.
Academy: F Organ, Metzger, J Wood, Scriven, Middleton, Currie, Prest, Pardoe, Abass,  Searle, Dale.
Basingstoke & North Hants must do without the Neal brothers, Ash and Brad, against winless New Milton at May’s Bounty, 10.30.
Basingstoke & North Hants: Stokes, Thane, Froud, Makhanya, Albert, M Harsham, Williamson, Griffiths, Benge, Thankachan, James.
Third placed Havant, bundled out for 96 by Bashley (Rydal) last week, look for redemption against Lymington at the Sports Ground, where  skipper Chris Stone will demand a much improved batting performance. But he’s without the in-form Stuart Ransley and Chris Morgan.
