Warwickshire expect batter Sam Hain to have recovered from a back tweak that ruled him out of last week’s win at Yorkshire.

Hain jarred his back at home but has netted this week and is in contention to slot back into the side for the visit of Surrey.

Chris Woakes has been another familiar face in the nets as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury but still needs more time before he makes a Bears comeback.

However, fast bowler Michael Booth – who’s enjoyed a fantastic start to the season with 16 wickets in four games – has an ankle injury and drops out of the squad.

New Zealand Test Captain Tom Latham landed in the UK on Tuesday and has spent two sessions on the Colts training ground.

He’s reported no ill effects from the broken hand he suffered with hometown club Canterbury and is in line to make his debut for the Club.

Warwickshire First Team Coach Ian Westwood, said: “Tom has rehabbed well at home, he’s come to us fit and is excited about playing. He’s trained well with us, he’s eager to get going and is ready to go against Surrey.

“But it’s a bit too soon for Woakesy. He’ll keep building up and hopefully will be playing a couple of games for us quite soon.”
