International call-ups mean there's a very youthful look to the Northern Knights squad for the two games this week against the Warriors at Stormont.

Paul Stirling and Mark Adair are both absent, while Ross Adair and Neil Rock will only play in the T20 game on Wednesday afternoon.

Rock will take the captain's armband on Wednesday, with James McCollum at the helm for the 50-overs game.

Sussex keeper/batsman Sam Topping will take gloves on Thursday, although elder sibling Morgan misses out due to a hamstring injury.

Ireland youth internationals Harry Dyer, Matthew Humphreys, Adam Kennedy and Carson McCullough are also included in Simon Johnston's squad.
