Ryan Campbell has named a 13-player squad to face group leaders Warwickshire with three changes to the squad named last time out to face Somerset.
Harry Crawshaw is named in a Durham senior squad for the time this season and if selected tomorrow could be in line to make his List A debut.

Durham are now not able to qualify for the knockout stages following Thursday’s defeat to Somerset.
Migael Pretorius was rested on Thursday, while Ben McKinney has now joined up with England under 19s.
Mitchell Killeen will remain with Durham for the final two group games of Metro Bank one-day cup before joining up with England after the fixture at Bristol on Tuesday.

Opposition Corner
Captain: Will Rhodes
2022 finish: Sixth (Group A)
2022 leading runscorer: Rob Yates (412)
2022 leading wicket taker: Olly Hannon-Dalby (16)
Key player: Jake Lintott – The career trajectory of the left-arm wrist-spinner has hit it’s first dip after the astonishing rise of recent years. Without a The Hundred gig for the first time, the 30-year-old will be looking to rekindle the form and confidence which took him so far so quickly. If he does, a hatful of wickets could follow.
Young Player to watch: Ethan Brookes – The highly-talented all-rounder is approaching a crossroads. Much of his cricket, especially with the bat, suggests he is ready for a sustained first-team chance but the competition for places at Warwickshire is high. A storming 50-over campaign would make his point to the coaches at Edgbaston and, should his first-team path continue to be blocked there, elsewhere.
Final thought: Interest remains high in 50-over cricket at Edgbaston and crowds have been excellent for the format despite the absence of key players in The Hundred. The Bears supporters enjoy seeing home-grown players fledge but this is the club’s only chance of silverware this season so they would appreciate a proper tilt at the trophy – qualification from the group, at least.
