Harris: Seasonal return
Glamorgan welcome back teenage fast bowler James Harris for the LV County Championship game against Derbyshire at the new-look Swalec Stadium.
The England U19 paceman will celebrate his 18th birthday during the game after recovering from an ankle injury that has kept him sidelined so far this season.
He replaces fellow seamer Ryan Watkins in the only change to the team that beat Gloucestershire in their last championship match.
Derbyshire are boosted by the return of Graham Wagg for the trip to Cardiff.
The all-rounder missed the drawn match with Warwickshire through illness but his left-arm seamers will add variety to the Derbyshire attack.
Wicket-keeper James Pipe sustained a finger injury against Warwickshire so the in-form Dane Freddie Klokker will continue to deputise with the gloves.
Greg Smith is still absent with a thigh problem, however promising all-rounder Jonathan Clare will once again feature after he agreed a new contract ahead of the trip to Wales.
Clare has made a good start to the season and head of cricket John Morris was keen to secure his near-term future, signing him to a deal that will see him through to the end of 2009.
