Peterborough Town batsman Alex Mitchell in action.

Star batsman Asim Butt has recovered from illness, while Loughborough MCCU player Hasan Azad is also included in a squad of 12 for a repeat of last year’s final.

Defeat wouldn’t mean the end for either side as two teams from a group of three qualify for the semi-finals. Market Deeping are the third team in the group.

The other tie scheduled for tonight between Ramsey and King’s Keys has been postponed as the Rams are on a stag trip in honour of skipper Michael Cafferkey.

Town: D. Clarke, K. Judd, A. Butt, H. Azad, L. Bruce, M. Milner, M. Saif, R. Kendall, D. Sayer, M. Edwards, A. Mitchell.
