There is one change to the Derbyshire squad for tomorrow’s game at the Incora County Ground against Northamptonshire Steelbacks, with wicketkeeper Brooke Guest returning after a groin strain. Nye Donald has returned to Hampshire.

I am pleased to see the effervescent Guest back in the squad, as he has become a big player for Derbyshire. I would expect Tom Wood to come into the side, either as opener or at number five. With Peter Moores having highlighted Derbyshire’s limitations of hitting, outside the top four, it is an area where Wood can help. As I wrote the other day, I would open with him and have Ali at five against an older ball.

Our visitors have endured a difficult start and big hitting Australian, Chris Lynne has yet to fire for them. Both sides will be anxious for a win to kickstart their campaigns in this competition.

I’m going for Derbyshire to come out on the right side of this one, this being my side:

Wood, Reece, Madsen, du Plooy, Ali, Guest, McKiernan, Chappell, Watt, Scrimshaw, Khan

The visitors squad:

Willey, Cobb, Zaib, Lynn, Heldreich, Gay, Keogh, McManus, Russell, Sanderson, Sales, Tye, Taylor, Vasconcelos
