Durham CCC Head Coach, Geoff Cook, has named a thirteen man squad for the Club’s opening fixture of the 2010 season which includes Michael Di Venuto who is set to make his 300th first class appearance.
Kyle Coetzer joins Di Venuto as opener after his great form in pre season, including 172 against the MCC in the season opener in Abu Dhabi. Following his appearance for the 2XI in the last week, Mark Davies is included in the squad after successful rehabilitation from his ankle injury.
The LV= County Championship Trophy will be on display in the Media Centre during the lunch interval for photo opportunities with spectators.
