Nice to see Hamidullah Qadri back in the Derbyshire twelve what has been announced for the 4-day game against Northamptonshire that opens the Chesterfield Cricket Festival tomorrow.
He hasn't had that much cricket this season, when examinations have rightly taken precedence.
Chesterfield being Chesterfield, the likelihood is that he will be in the final eleven, in the hope that spin plays an increasing role as the game goes on.
With Leus du Plooy showing his potential as a slow left armer, Billy Godleman will then have four spin and seam options available to him.
The Derbyshire 12:
Godleman, Reece, Madsen, du Plooy, Lace, Hosein, Critchley, Hudson-Prentice, Palladino, Qadri, Rampaul, Dal.
As for our visitors, they have gone well in recent weeks, with Ben Sanderson in fine bowling form. Temba Bavuma has played some important knocks in the middle order and we all know how dangerous Richard Levi can be.
It should be a good game and I hope that the weather allows a positive result.
It is a game that Derbyshire can win and need to win, to maintain our aspirations of division one cricket next year.
We will know soon enough.
