Jake Wish Ben Wish will once again be leading Rowledge this summer, as the Hampshire/Surrey border club looks to make amends for last season’s relegation.
Competing in Southern Premier League Division 2, the side will be looking to change their fortunes and turn a number of narrow losses last year into victories.
The squad is again likely to be dominated by youth, but the returns of experienced seamer Richard Forbes and middle-order batsman Sam Moseley from injury are seen as positives.
Teenager Fraser Wilson from Sydney, will be the side's overseas player and he will be looking to score runs having just arrived from Gordon District Grade Club, where Hampshire & England leg-spinner Mason Crane wintered in 2016/17.
“We have lost Tom Gleave and the experience and outstanding service of Ian Metcalfe for the season, so it will be up to younger lads with SPL experience like Joe Randall, spinner George Keeley and left-arm seamer Jake Wish to step up to the plate and ease the transition,” Ben Wish said.
“It will also be a season for Ollie Baker, Max Martin and 15 year old Will Ryman to make an impression in and around the first team squad.”
Jake Wish could miss the early matches due to university commitments, but top order batsman Nick Morant, and all-rounders Steve Martin and David Lloyd will provide the experience in the side for Wish, who will one again don the wicket-keeping gloves.
