Dorset spin all-rounder Jacob Gordon has returned to Bashley (Rydal) after spending last season playing ECB Surrey Championship cricket with Weybridge.
He had been linked with a switch to Banstead but, so that he can be closer to home for Dorset's National Championship matches, will spend this summer with Bashley and make his return against Lymington at the Sports Ground, 12.30.
He will open alongside the lean and lanky Will Tripcony with left-hander Jack Stearman, a pre-season transfer from South Wilts, listed to bat three ahead of skipper Michael Porter and Ben Walker, who has rejoined Bash from Havant.
Despite losing nine wickets for 61 runs against the Hampshire Academy last week, Lymington name an unchanged team, one wich will sleep uneasily knowing Scotland left-armer Brad Currie will spearhead the Bashley attack. He took 9-28 against them last June.
Absent for Bashley are Josh Digby, Dan Goodey and wicketkeeper Patrick Lewis.
Lymington: Rogers, M Abbas, Scott, K Dhariwal, Berg, J Dhaiwal, Hemmings, Royan, Layman, A Abbas, Thompson.
Bashley (Rydal): Porter, Tripcony, Gordon, Stearman, Walker, Achakzai, Trodd, Wilson, Morris, Currie, Bourne.
Champions Burridge, beaten by Havant last week, travel to Alton, who have Michael Heffernan back in the middle-order, replacing seamer Tom Varney. Burridge have not shown their hand.
Alton: Harris, Rajnikanth, Myers, Ruffell, Heffernan, Rolfs, South, Heffernan, Walters, Sumner, Gadsby.
Dorset all-rounder Simon Woodruff leads Bournemouth against South Wilts at Bemerton, neither side playing its scheduled opening match last weekend.

Bournemouth: Woodruff, Rogers, Van Goole, Webb, Meyer,Robinson, Freak, Pack, Smith, Rushforth, Breckon.
Basingstoke & North Hants and St Cross Symondians are each without a key all-rounder for the May's Bounty joust - Brad Neal being absent for the hosts and Hampshire's Felix Organ the visitors.
Seamer Ollie Cordery is set for a Hampshire Academy comeback at Havant, who have conceded Sunday's ECB national club championship tie at Portsmouth.
Academy: Randall, Ashman, Gordon, Mayes, Eckland, MacEwen, Jack, Davis, Basey, Cordery, Sundram.
Calmore Sports called off
Ventnor are left without a game for the second week running when their scheduled Southern Premier Division 1 visit to Calmore Sports was cancelled due to Loperwood Park having not yet recovered from the wet weather.
Like nearby Langley Manor, Calmore have suffered more than most and despite the efforts of their volunteer ground crew, it remains unplayable.
Ventnor should, at least, get a game in on Sunday when Sarisbury Athletic travel to Steephill in the national village cup.
Sarisbury call up Ricky Rawlins for their visit to OTs & Romsey, the only change from the side that beat Rowledge last week.
OTR: C King, G Noble, C Wood, H Tulk, R Newman, J Vaughan, E Ponting, H Peruzi, V Dawson, T George, M Bampton.
Sarisbury Athletic: Franklin, Morton, Cookson, Robson, Rawlins, Feltham, Williams, Pascoe, Clark, Holzman, Hill.
Opener Ben Duggan misses Portsmouth's potentially testing trip to Andover, so teenage spinner Charlie Collins, who bowled effectively in the ECB Cup win over Middleton, gets the nod.
Portsmouth: James Christian, Carlin Joy, Mohammed Ashraful, Harry Gadd, Dan Wimble, Sujeeth Daini, Joe Kooner-Evans, Steve Warner, Charlie Collins, Tom Lewis, Rak Rao.
Will Ryman is stranded in the Grand Canyon on a university geology trip so misses the Rowledge-Hook & Newnham Basics match as does Harry Warner, who is refereeing.
Rowledge:Ben Wish, David Lloyd, Max Martin, Ollie Baker, Olly Ryman, Hugh Croft, Ryan Littlewood, Justin Felsch, Zac Le Roux, Jonty Sebborn, Jake Wish.
