HEREFORDSHIRE 2nd Xl will, belatedly begin their home programme by entertaining Oxfordshire 2nd at Brockhampton on Sunday.

Their planned opener two weeks ago against Wiltshire 2nd at Eastnor was called off at the last minute with the visitors unable to raise a side.

Joe Crichard will captain the side on his home ground and there are places for six of the first-team which played against Dorset last weekend.

Bromyard brothers Greg and George Leighton are included while there is a first call-up for Bartestree & Lugwardine paceman Tom Strangward.

Herefordshire 2nd: Joe Crichard (C), Charlie Scott (WK), Benny Ellis, Tom Hage, Jamie Harrison, George Leighton, Greg Leighton, Barney Morgan, Taylor Pugh, Oli Rogoff, Tom Strangward, Jack Taylor.
