Leicestershire have recalled Jermaine Lawson to their squad for the Division Two County Championship fixture against Northamptonshire at Grace Road.

The Jamaican fast bowler was dropped after struggling on his debut in the season-opening win over Middlesex.

The Foxes are unbeaten in the Championship in 2008 with draws against Worcestershire and Warwickshire following the Middlesex victory.

South African duo available

Northamptonshire can select Andrew Hall and Johannes van der Wath for the first time in the Championship this season.

Both South African-born all-rounders won their appeals against the ECB's refusal to register them as Kolpak players due to their participation in the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League during the winter.

Left-arm paceman David Lucas has also been included in a 12-man squad after impressing against Cardiff UCCE last week.

Riki Wessels and Niall O'Brien are both in the squad, with the Irishman named as wicketkeeper.

There is no place for either batsman Alex Wakely or fast bowler David Wigley, while left-arm spinner Monty Panesar is on England duty.
