Powell, who played in the recent six-man team event, will be making his Anglian League debut as Northamptonshire look to pick up their first victory after two defeats this season.

Simon Williams (Northampton), John Chamberlain (Cold Ashby), Ryan Evans (Wellingborough), Andy Lilly (Kettering), Neil Presto and Adrian Firman (both Peterborough Milton) complete the county line-up.

In the reverse fixture at Overstone Park, the county selectors have opted for six young lads and a couple of older heads as they search for their first victory this term.

County boys champ Johnny Stevens (Collingtree), runner-up Lee Hitchcock (Kingsthorpe) and ex-champ Shaun Davis (Wellingborough) are joined by fellow youngsters Lewis White (Northampton), Andrew Myers and Harry Larkins (both Northants County).

Cold Ashby skipper Graham Bott and Collingtree Park's Ray Connolly add a little more experience to the second team line-up.
