Chris Cooke will captain Glamorgan for the first time, as they field a much-changed Championship squad away to Warwickshire.

Wicketkeeper/batsman Cooke, 32, takes over from seamer Michael Hogan, who has not recovered from hamstring trouble.

Australia batsman Usman Khawaja makes his debut replacing compatriot Shaun Marsh, who is on international duty.

Connor Brown, Owen Morgan, Ruaidhri Smith and Jeremy Lawlor could make first four-day appearances of 2018.

Batsman Kiran Carlson is unavailable because of a university examination, Aneurin Donald is left out, and fast bowler Marchant de Lange has a hamstring injury, ensuring at least five changes from the defeat at Leicester in Glamorgan's most recent Championship game.

Division Two leaders Warwickshire, who narrowly missed out on the knock-out stages of the One-Day Cup, have named a 15-man squad.

Fit-again Keith Barker, fellow paceman Oliver Hannon-Dalby, leg spinner Josh Poysden, and former Cardiff MCCU player Alex Thomson are all added to their last Championship line-up prior to the One-Day Cup break.

Warwickshire (from): Patel (capt), Rhodes, Sibley, Bell, Trott, Hain, Lamb, Ambrose (wk), Stone, Brookes, Wright, Poysden, Thomson, Barker, Hannon-Dalbyy.

Glamorgan (from): Cooke (capt, wk), Selman, Murphy, Khawaja, Brown, Lloyd, Lawlor, Salter, Morgan, Smith, van der Gugten, Carey.
