DORSET will have to make do without skipper Tom Hicks as a much-changed team travels to Shropshire in the MCCA Championship.

Both Hicks and Tom Deighton miss out due to work commitments while Ed Denham is unavailable.

Experienced seamer Rupes Kitzinger and all-rounder Jake Lintott come in alongside Hampshire Academy trio Lewis McManus, Mike Porter and Ryan Scott.

Simon Beetham and Tom Jacques have been left out of the three day match which will be played at Bridgnorth.

Dorset: Esson, McManus, Khan, Williams, Lintott, Porter, Wolstenholme, Drakeley, Scott, Kitzinger, Ladd-Gibbon.
