PAUL Pollard will return for Worcestershire tomorrow when they open their County Championship Division Two match against Hampshire at New Road.

The former Nottinghamshire left hander missed the County's last Championship match, which ended in a rain-hit draw with Warwickshire on Saturday, because of a broken toe.

Making way for him will be Nick Boulton.

Paceman Stuart Lampitt is also added to the squad although a decision on whether he will play has yet to be made.

He is suffering from knee bruising and the County's Director of Cricket Tom Moody says: "We are obviously conscious of him playing, and continuing to play, a key role in our Norwich Union League programme. It will depend on him and medical advice as to if he can get through five days at full tilt."

Moody is keen for Worcestershire to complete the season with a flourish after having their Championship promotion hopes crushed by defeats against Durham and Nottinghamshire and Saturday's frustrating deadlock at Edgbaston.

He said: "Across the board I think there have been positive signs over the season and I'm very eager for us to finish off the season in style.

"That's not only in the Championship but also in the Norwich Union where we have the opportunity to go up."

The County will be on a revenge mission after losing by 124 runs at Southampton in May despite a century from skipper Graeme Hick.

It is one of five Championship defeats Worcestershire have suffered this season which has led to the currently lying in third from bottom spot in the table.

Meanwhile, a members' forum is to be held in the marquee at New Road half an hour after close of play tomorrow.

In attendance will be club chairman John Elliott, cricket committee chairman Martin Horton, Chief Executive Mark Newton, Hick and Moody. All members will be welcome.
