Squad: Warwickshire vs Surrey, Rothesay County Championship
Warwickshire First Team Coach Ian Westwood has shuffled his pack with five changes to the squad that won at Yorkshire last weekend.
Tom Latham – who’s scored more than 10,000 runs in all formats for New Zealand – comes straight into the reckoning having arrived at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
Fast bowlers Che Simmons and Craig Miles are also drafted into a 14-man squad, while Hamza Shaikh is left out and Michael Booth ruled out with an ankle injury.
Westwood praised a superb “all round team performance” at Headingley to record a second straight win on the road.
And he’s looking for his side to dig deep and produce another strong display against the title holders.
“I thought we bowled really well throughout the game and kept pressure on them all the time” said Westwood of the five-wicket win in Leeds . “Our bowlers put in a lot of effort, backing up spell after spell, and we got our rewards
“It was potentially a very tricky chase in the second innings on a spicy wicket. But we got off to a good start and it was nicely brought home by Zen. It was a nice all round team performance. We went head to head with a side boasting lots of internationals and came out on top.
“It was a great knock from Beau Webster on debut for us, particularly on that wicket, a nice balance of attack and defence and put their bowlers under pressure. He scored quickly and his innings went a long way to us winning the game.
“When Hainy went down, Zen stepped in to bat four. He’ll probably not bat on a more difficult wicket all year. His second innings was really composed, he grew into it, expressed himself and showed the quality we know he possesses.”
