Staffordshire have named 12-man squads for their NCCA Knockout Trophy double header this weekend.
Staffs kick off their Group Two 50-over programme with a clash against Herefordshire at West Bromwich Dartmouth on Sunday.
Then they host Suffolk at Bignall End on Bank Holiday – the first time Staffs will have played at Boon Hill for 35 years.
Staffordshire have included Hem Heath all-rounder Liam Banks in their 12 for Sunday’s encounter.
It will be Banks’ first appearance for the county since the 2023 campaign.
Staffordshire make three changes to the party for Monday’s meeting with Suffolk.
Banks, Reeve Evitts and Rory Haydon are all unavailable – the latter due to commitments with Derbyshire 2nd XI.
