Nathan Hawkes comes into Oxfordshire’s squad for Sunday’s MCCA Trophy clash with Bedfordshire at Bicester & North Oxford (11).

The Banbury all-rounder is added to the 11 that beat Devon by one wicket in their thrilling Group 1 opener two weeks ago.

“We played well down in Devon,” said Oxfordshire’s head of cricket Rupert Evans.

“It would have been nice to have won a bit more easily, but it was certainly positive.

“It was still good to get started with a win. “Victory on Sunday would put us in a strong position in the group.”

Oxfordshire: from Kaufman (Old Northamptonians), Shirazi (Aston Rowant), Sabin (Banbury), Hawkes (Banbury), Perkin (Oxford), West (Banbury), Cater (Banbury), Smith (Bromley), Ryan (capt, Banbury), Keegan (Worksop), Rowe (Sully Centurions), Blanchard (Banbury).

OXFORDSHIRE host the Netherlands in ECB Women’s County Championship Division 3 at the same venue on Sunday.
