Home Counties Premier League: Former England left-arm seamer Paul Taylor is battling to shrug of a back injury as Banbury visit Slough in Division 1 on Saturday (June 7).
The ex-Northants paceman bowled just two overs before Banbury chased 305 to post an unlikely five-wicket win over reigning champions High Wycombe last Saturday.
He was due to undergo a scan yesterday as well as seeing a chiropractor.
"Paul is not the sort of person who will risk it if it is not right," said skipper Craig Haupt, who has his nephew, Dale - also a left-arm quickie - on stand-by to make his Home Counties debut.
Banbury's captain is also a slight doubt after aggravating a knee injury during last week's game, but expects to play.
Looking back on the victory over High Wycombe, Haupt said: "It was absolutely fantastic.
"I think a lot of people were pointing fingers at me when I said at the start of the season that we could beat any side in the league, but we proved that on Saturday."
