Oxford captain Jason Harrison has had to make three changes for tomorrow's Division 1 derby clash with Banbury at Roman Way.

But he says they will be no weaker for what should be a big test of their title pedigree.

Joe Porter, John Williams and Jack Brooks are all unavailable, but Simon and Stuart Hole, Francois Vainker and Adam Cook return to the squad.

Harrison said: "We knew at the start of the season that we had a squad of 20 and they would be needed throughout the year.

"I've got confidence in all the players in the squad.

"It is great to have Stuart Hole involved again after playing for Warwickshire's first team on Sunday.

Both sets of players will know each other very well, but Harrison is calling for the same focus that has seen Oxford consolidate second spot.

"We'll be doing the same preparation as before," he said.

"Whether it is Slough at the top of the league or Banbury, we'll keep it the same."

Banbury have also named a squad of 12 with Paul Taylor and Steve Beck proving injury doubts.

Skipper Benji Hector has every confidence they can repeat last season's away victory.

"We can take a little bit of heart from the performance we put in to win there last year," he said.

"The league is close and on any given day, any particular team can beat another.

"Our guys have played enough cricket with and against their players to know them very well. We are ready for it."
