HARLOW captain James Butler will play his first game of the new season after recovering from a hernia operation.
Butler will replace Luke Heskett in the middle order, as the batsman is unavailable this week, and he is looking forward to what he believes will be a tough test.
"Loughton look to be a good side. They've made some decent signings over the winter and will provide us with a stern test, as Fives did last week," said Butler.
"They scored plenty of runs against Shenfield last week so we're really going to have to be on our game with the bat."
Harlow only managed 188 runs in their allotted against Fives and the side will have to raise their game significantly if they are to overcome division new-boys Loughton, who were relegated from Division One last season.
