Stokes' Durham next for shellshocked Glamorgan

Glamorgan's One Day Cup campaign does not get any easier with Ben Stokes's in-form Durham side next in line for a team that has just been bowled out for 66.

The former England captain has opted out of the Hundred to smash 108 and 73, both unbeaten, in Durham wins over Derbyshire and Sussex.

In contrast Glamorgan's callow line-up were shot out for 66 by Middlesex - their fourth lowest score in over 60 years of one-day cricket- to lose the match in 30 overs of cricket.

So do they keep faith with an inexperienced team in line with the development nature of the competition- or recall the senior figures who were meant to be resting?

"We spoke before the tournament about what the team was going to look like initially, we picked a squad for the first three games so we'll re-assess before we head up to Durham on Tuesday, " said coach David Harrison.

Glamorgan are without five players at the Hundred - more than usual for them but average among the counties.

They started with a win over similarly-depleted Sussex, with hundreds from debutant Jack Hope-Bell and Alex Horton rescuing them from early trouble, but the batting collapses continued against Yorkshire and Middlesex.

They have again chosen to rest 40-year-olds Colin Ingram and Chris Cooke, as last year, ahead of an important Championship block, while opening bowler Timm van der Gugten understandably sat out the Middlesex trip because of his heavy workload.

Zain Ul Hassan could be back from paternity leave, Jamie McIlroy's fitness will re assessed after a late withdrawal, and Billy Root remains available, but breakthrough bowler Tom Norton looks unlikely to feature in the One Day Cup because of a back injury.

"It's a great opportunity for some of these (young) players to play against one of the best players in the world, I don't see it as a worry, I see it as a challenge. Durham are a strong team but we've got to be better," commented Harrison gamely.

The only real positive of the Middlesex match was the first-team debut of seam bowler Tom Edwards, an 18-year-old from the Pontarddulais club.

In the squad for the first time, he was unexpectedly brought into the eleven when McIlroy suffered a minor injury niggle in the warm-up.

Edwards' two cheap wickets were a sign of hope for a Glamorgan public starved of home-produced quick bowlers in recent years, apart from Norton's Championship wicket-taking exploits in May and June.

"I wasn't expecting it at all but I'm very grateful for the opportunity, it was a surreal moment. There were a lot of emotions, excitement and nerves, but the nerves went when I got my first wicket and it was a good experience," Edwards told BBC Sport Wales.

"There were more people watching than for a second team game, so a bit more pressure. But I tried to think that it was just like any other game, just to do what I've been doing, and that seemed to work.

"We'll see what the squad is for Durham but if it does happen, it'll be a very good experience playing against Ben Stokes."
