The second of three T20 weekends starts on Friday at Bready, with all four squads strengthened by the appearance of Irish internationals ahead of next week's T20 World Cup qualifiers in Scotland.

Leinster Lightning welcome back Simi Singh from injury, and David Delany from Australia, while Railway Union's exciting New Zealander Riley Mudford is included for the first time.

There's a real CIYMS feel to the Northern Knights squad with no fewer than six of the Belmont squad included. The Adair brothers will be on Irish duty in the aforementioned qualifiers, as will Rush wicket-keeper Neil Rock.

The hosts have included 15 in their ranks, so expect a bit of comings and goings, especially with a full league programme in the region on Saturday.

Andy McBrine skippers the Warriors and will be hoping to prove a point after not figuring in Heinrich Malan's plans for Scotland. Graham Hume and Craig Young bolster the bowling options as they look to leapfrog the Knights at the top of the table.

Another captain with a point to prove will be PJ Moor of Munster who didn't get onto the park at all during the WCQ in his native Zimbabwe.

One new face for them is Carson McCullough who plays for CIYMS in the NCU.

The games each day start at 11am and 3pm.
