County champions

         Batsmen Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott and all-rounder Chris Woakes are still in New Zealand with the England Test squad, Ireland fast bowler Boyd Rankin is still recovering from a foot injury while Darren Maddy and Keith Barker have been allowed to return home for a rest following Warwickshire's pre-season training camp in Barbados.The squad has enjoyed good preparation both at home this winter and latterly during our pre-season camp in Barbados," said the Warwickshire director of cricket so we're giving a few of the younger players a chance to gain more match experience and stake their claim for a place in the starting XI for Abu Dhabi.The annual game against the MCC, traditionally played at Lord's but switched to Abu Dhabi in 2010, is now generally played in front of a meagre crowd at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.Hannon-Dalby, who played no Championship cricket in his final season for Yorkshire in 2012, will compete for new-ball duty with Rikki Clarke and Chris Wright.
