Two professionals named in North West Squad whilst Pat Collins and Bill Coghlan are called in for Leinster.
North West Warriors will make their debut in the RSA Inter-Provincial Series next week in the three day RSA Inter-Provincial Championships match against the Leinster Lightning.
The Warriors have named a strong squad with several Ireland Under 19 representatives joined by the experience of Niall McDonnell, Iftikhar Hussain and Andrew Riddles. Stuart Thompson was unavailable due to exams while Andrew Britton had work commitments. The squad is also joined by two professionals in the shape of South African Romano Ramoo from Bready and Pakistani Kamran Sajjid from Donemana.
The Lightning make two changes from the side which beat the Northern Knights in the first 50 over match on Monday with coach Trent Johnston standing aside and Andrew Balbirnie not available due to exams. They’ve been replaced by Pat Collins, fresh from scoring a hundred and taking a seven-for for Railway Union against Phoenix and 2012 Division 1 leading run scorer Bill Coghlan.
