Head Coach Robert Croft has confirmed his squad for tomorrow’s opening Specsavers County Championship match against Northampton at Wantage Road.
Marquee signing Marchant de Lange is included in the squad after arriving in Cardiff on Tuesday, while there is also space for new Middlesex loan signing Harry Podmore.
Jacques Rudolph returns to captain the side and is joined by South African compatriot Colin Ingram, who returns to the four-day side after injury ruled him out of action in the Championship format last year.
Young Welsh players Kiran Carlson, Lukas Carey and Owen Morgan who all signed their first professional contracts with Glamorgan before Christmas after impressing last season are once again included.
‘We are delighted to finally have Marchant with us," said Robert Croft, Glamorgan CCC Head Coach. "He brings real X factor and cutting edge to our bowling attack as well as proven international experience."
Last season Glamorgan were on the wrong end of both matches against Northants despite memorable performances from Lukas Carey and Kiran Carlson, so the Welsh county will be looking to end this sequence against the East Midlands side in order to start their campaign on the right track.
Croft added, "Northamptonshire are a good team and beat us twice last year, but we have a strong squad and if we play to our strengths and focus on our own game we can come away with a positive result."
Glamorgan (13-man) squad to play Northants: Rudolph (c), Selman, Lloyd, Ingram, Cooke, Donald, Carlson, Meschede, Morgan, Salter, De Lange, Carey, Podmore
