OXFORDSHIRE pair Lloyd Sabin and Ashley Blanchard return for Banbury’s home clash with Potters Bar in Division 1.
Opening batsman Sabin has recovered from a toe problem, while seamer Blanchard is fit again after a knee injury.
They replace Eddie Phillips and Chris Thompson.
Banbury have suffered narrow defeats in their last two matches, but captain Jimmy Phillips believes there is cause for some optimism.
“That’s two weeks in a row where it has come down to the last over and we have ended up on the wrong side,” said Phillips.
“It is frustrating, but it shows that we are not far away.
“We need a bit more discipline in the field and to build a few more partnerships.
“With this 50-over format, we have got a good chance to bounce back with a win.”
Banbury (v Potters Bar, home): Tew, L Sabin, Haupt, Hawkes, West, Cater, Ryan, Barends, Wright, Blanchard, J Phillips (capt).
