Challengers St George’s remained consistent to form by ringing the changes in the hope of wresting the cup from Somerset in the Annual Classic next Thursday and Friday.

Among the six changes from the 2019 team that played to a draw at Wellington Oval are first-time chances for left-arm spinner Isaiah Greaves and Warwick batsman Jamar Stovel.

Recalled are George O’Brien as vice-captain, Detroy Smith, wicketkeeper Sinclair Smith and Oronde Bascome.

They replace the injured trio of Macai Simmons, Treadwell Gibbons Jr and OJ Pitcher, as well as fast bowlers Mackih McGowan and Zeko Burgess, and retired captain Lionel Cann.

Recalled are Kamau Leverock and Tre Manders.
