Bears\u2019 skipper Sam Hain has been ruled out of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup with a knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>HOW CAN I KEEP UP WITH THE MATCH?<\/p>\n<p>The match starts at 11am and will be broadcast live on Warwickshire\u2019s YouTube channel, with a link placed on Surrey\u2019s Match Centre. The Club\u2019s social media channels will also provide regular updates and share match clips throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p>A report and highlights will be published on the Kia Oval website after the conclusion of the match.<\/p>\n<p>\tSQUAD<\/p>\n<p>Tom Lawes has been released by Sunrisers Leeds for this fixture and will join Surrey\u2019s 14-player squad for the trip to Edgbaston.<\/p>\n<p>\tWarwickshire<\/p>\n<p>Previewed by Brian Halford \u2013 ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay<\/p>\n<p>2025 position:\u00a04th (Group B)<br \/>2025 most runs:\u00a0Ed Barnard (358)<br \/>2025 most wickets:\u00a0Tazeem Ali (18)<\/p>\n<p>Why they can win the competition:\u00a0Warwickshire Second XI recently retained the T20 Cup fuelled by the talents of many players who will figure in their 50-over campaign. They are confident and in form.<\/p>\n<p>Player to watch:\u00a0Kai Smith \u2013 the dynamic young wicketkeeper-batter has been unlucky to be overlooked for much of the red-ball and T20 campaigns. A strong 50-over comp would make him very hard to overlook when the Championship resumes.<\/p>\n<p>Young gun:\u00a0Staffordshire product Theo Wylie, a left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder, is an impact player with bat and ball who appears ready to make an impact in first-team cricket.<\/p>\n<p>Final thought:\u00a0It has turned into a strange, polarised season for the Bears. A disastrous start to the Blast destroyed their qualification hopes very early but they are in the thick of the Rothesay County Championship title race and a strong 50-over campaign would set up an exciting end to the season at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Surrey are back on the road this week as they travel up the M40 to face Warwickshire in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":716578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-716577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
