Conrad Sutcliffe reports the Devon Team News

NORTH Devon paceman Jack Popham is back in a Devon squad for the first time in three years after a lengthy injury absence.

Popham has not featured in a Devon side since 2018 when he played against Wales in a Twenty20 clash on his home ground at Instow.

Devon’s opening National Counties KO Cup engagement with Hereford at Instow takes place on Bank Holiday Sunday so Popham’s selection for the warm-up match against Cornwall at Bovey Tracey this Sunday is significant.

Two new faces in the match-day 13 are Callum Haggett, the former England under-19 all-rounder, and ex-Warwickshire academy scholar Fahad Sabir.

Haggett, who was released by Kent at the end of last season, has been recruited by Devon as a senior player in what is going to be a transitional season.

A number of senior players – Zak Bess, Alex Barrow, Matt Golding and James Burke among them – have either restricted availability or none at all. Haggett is there to even things up.

Sabir went through the youth ranks with Warwickshire and is hoping to revive his cricket career by playing for Devon. He bowls left-arm spin.

Jamie Stephens will captain the side for the first time as successor to Barrow, whose coaching commitments with Somerset CCC will prevent him making more than occasional appearances for Devon this season.

Devon’s match-day 13 is: J A Stephens (Taunton Deane), A J Small (Sandford), C J Haggett (Bridgwater), J H G Degg (Plymouth), B A Beaumont (Cornwood), E H Hamilton (Plympton), S O Read (Exeter), F Sabir (West Bromwich Dartmouth), J D Horler (Exmouth), E W O Middleton (Exeter), J R Popham (North Devon), B H Privett (Plympton), C E N Barriball (Tavistock).

Umpires: C T Sleep, R G B Allen.
