The Australian wicket-keeper batsman is in the named twelve for the game and replaces Harvey Hosein from the side that did good duty against Durham last week.
The final place looks to be between Alex Hughes and Anuj Dal as Dave Houghton has named this squad:
Godleman, Guest, du Plooy, Madsen, McDermott, Critchley, Hughes, Dal, Hudson-Prentice, Aitchison, Conners, Melton.
Alex Hughes continues his recuperation from a knee injury, while Harvey Hosein misses out after the fearful blow he took while batting last week.
That top six in prime form is seriously impressive, so let's hope that translates onto the pitch over the next four days.
Worcestershire, like Derbyshire have been up and down this season. Both their batting and bowling look strong but each has shown to be fallible, not least in their recent defeat to Nottinghamshire.
I am hoping to see the same spirit shown in the reverse fixture at the Incora County Ground, when a little more courage on the declaration just might have seen us edge an early win.
Some big runs from our top order, ahead of the Vitality Blast won't go amiss either, while a young attack will aim to build on growing reputations.
The weather is set fair for the next four days, spectators are allowed in and the stream will be on, chez Peakfan.
Buoyed by our new arrival, I think we can win this.
What do you think?
