Kettleborough and Keogh return for Bedfordshire

Also back in is paceman Luke Evans as Dan Blacktopp (ankle ligaments), Colin Griggs and Greg Hofbauer miss out,

Beds fell to a four wicket defeat against as first team manager Paul Oakins said: “Last week I was very pleased with the effort of the players unfortunately we found Joe Root’s brother Will on a good day and his 116 took the game away.

“He did what our lads couldn’t and turned a 40 odd or 60 into a hundred.

“Blacktopp injured his ankle ligaments in the game, while Luke Evans is in for the unfortunate Colin Griggs.

“James Kettleborough and Rob Keogh are available from from Northants, Greg Hofbauer misses out to allow Kettleborough in and Martin Weightman returns to middle order.”
