All though being joined by former Jersey captain and batsman Dave Gorman, the side to take on Cornwall has been hit by the absence of strike bowlers Barry Middleton and John Tall.
The CI will be hoping to improve on last season’s below-par position of fifth out of eight in the south-west section of the ECB Over-50 competition and will also have home games against Somerset and Devon in July.
Their first first away fixture is against Hampshire next month, with their three remaining fixtures, all away, against Dorset, Isle of White and Wiltshire, being on consecutive days in late July.
The team, captained by Paul Robson, is: R Anthony, S Birkett, Keith Dennis, Micky Fooks, Andy Gibbs, Dave Gorman, Mike Kinder, Paul le Cocq, Greg Sykes and John Taylor.
Peter Glennon is 12th man and Guernsey’s David Bray will umpire.
The match is scheduled to start at 12 noon.
