William Porterfield returns to the Warriors squad for Thursday's IP50 clash with Northern Knights at Stormont.

The Irish international missed the T20 weekend due to his coaching commitments with Gloucestershire, which saw the Warriors win their first two games before slumping to a 100-run loss to table toppers Munster Reds.

Porterfield replaces Bonds Glen teenager Raymond Curry, while Bready youngster Gavin Roulston is back in the 13, replacing Trent McKeegan, who is working.

It's a must win game for both sides if they hope to catch Munster Reds, with just two matches left in the short 50-overs season.
