Staffordshire Development XI start a two-day friendly against Derbyshire tomorrow.
The match is at Trentside, with Staffs being captained by Meakins’ Jack Hammond once again.
Staffordshire have named a 12-man squad for the contest, which starts at 11am on both days, with several players who have NCCA experience.
This gives them the chance to get some multi-day cricket under their belts ahead of the senior Championship campaign.
That starts with a three-dayer against Lincolnshire at Checkley on Sunday, July 27.
Staffs (from): Jack Hammond (cpt), Rohan Vallabhaneni, Ethan Berlusconi, Amir Khan, James Abbotts, Callum Leese, Sam Atkinson, Oli Tucker, Ed Batchelor, Jacob Garlick, Amaan Tariq, Jack Batchelor.
