Hampshire travel to the Kia Oval to take on Surrey in the latest round of Specsavers County Championship action, which begins on Monday.
Hampshire Squad:
Hampshire have named a 13-man squad for this fixture, with seamer Fidel Edwards and batsman Tom Alsop included alongside 10 of the final XI from last week’s day/night fixture against Somerset at The Ageas Bowl.
Mason Crane also returns to the side following his England IT20 & Lions exploits, however Liam Dawson is unavailable due to his England Test commitments.
The Opposition:
Since their opening day victory over Warwickshire in April, Surrey have been frustrated in their 2017 Specsavers County Championship campaign so far. A rain-affected draw last time out against Yorkshire saw Surrey claim their fifth draw in seven matches, with Gareth Batty’s side currently sitting fifth in the Division One standings.
