HEREFORDSHIRE CCC head for New Brighton on Sunday hoping to continue their winning start in the MCCA Trophy against Cheshire.

Ian Thomas is expected to make his Herefordshire debut after being unavailable for the victory over Northumberland last Sunday.

But the county side will be without wicket-keeper batsman Ismail Dawood who will be replaced behind the stumps by Duncan Willetts.

Definitely included in the line-up will be last week's late replacement Kez Ahmed whose two wickets and half-century to back up Dave Exall's fine unbeaten 80 were instrumental in the victory over Northumberland.

Herefordshire (from:) Chris Boroughs, Ian Thomas, Harshad Patel, Simon Kellett, Richard Hall, Gulsheraz Ahmed, Dave Exall, Peter Scott, Kez Ahmed, Tom Glover, Richard Parker, Duncan Willetts.
