Gavin Hamilton is back in Yorkshire Phoenix's squad for their National League game against Kent Phoenix at Tunbridge Wells tomorrow and will feature solely as a batsman if selected.

Craig White also returns as he continues his recovery from pre-season surgery and wicketkeeper Simon Guy and all-rounder Pieter Swanepoel are set to make their debuts in the coloured clothing competition.

Although Hamilton has not yet regained his confidence with the ball, head coach Kevin Sharp feels he is worth considering for his batting ability alone and that view was strengthened this week when the left-hander thrashed an unbeaten 143 against Bradford-Leeds Universities' Centre of Excellence.

"It was not only in this game that Gavin has shone with the bat recently and I am most happy to have him back in contention," said Sharp.

"Our batting has not been at its best and Gavin may be able to make some useful contributions."

If Hamilton does get his chance, it will be his first outing in the National League since August 2001.

South African-born Pieter Swanepoel impressed Yorkshire on his Championship debut against Durham and he added to his growing reputation with a good bowling performance in the Universities' match.

"Pieter is a very trustworthy cricketer," said Sharp. "You know that he bowls consistently in the right areas and that he challenges batsmen all the time. He is resolute with bat and ball."

Despite Guy putting on the wicketkeeping gloves, Richard Blakey retains his place as a batsman.

Yorkshire Phoenix from: Wood, White, Yuvraj, Lumb, Blakey, Guy, Silverwood, Sidebottom, Gough, Gray, Hamilton, Swanepoel.

* Yorkshire were forced to settle for a draw after a wet ground caused play to be held up until half-an-hour into the afternoon session on the final day of their match against Bradford-Leeds Universities' Centre of Excellence at Bradford Park Avenue yesterday.

Declaring at their overnight 140 for two with an overall lead of 308, Yorkshire left themselves with a maximum of two-and-a-half hours plus 20 overs in which to try to bowl their opponents out.

But the students made sure that the honours were evenly shared by reaching 113 for four in 53 overs and Yorkshire did not bother claiming the extra half-hour.

Missing two batsmen because of hand injuries, Bradford-Leeds could have struggled but Gharib Nawaz and Simon Webb made sure that did not happen with an opening stand of 61 before both fell in consecutive overs from Pieter Swanepoel and Andy Gray.

Vic Craven, got Jamie Kennaway caught behind and later had Chris Elstub edging a catch to Gavin Hamilton at first slip. Bradford-Leeds captain, Ismail Dawood, a century-maker in the first innings, was in the same solid form as he played out 24 overs to make sure his side did not end up as losers.

Although the home attack was lightweight, apart from Elstub and leg spinner Mark Bagley, the team could take much credit from what was their best performance yet against first class opposition.
