North Midlands launch their Bill Beaumont County Championship Division Two campaign with a new-look squad against Hampshire at Gosport & Fareham on Saturday May 5 (3pm).
Full-back Ollie Raynor and prop Stef Thorp are the only players with previous county experience in the 22-man squad.
With Droitwich preparing for the RFU Intermediate Cup final on Sunday, Dudley Kingswinford still involved in the Midlands One West promotion race and Bromsgrove and Newport through to the North Midlands Cup final a number of potential players are unavailable.
Birmingham & Solihull captain Jack Jolly also misses out through suspension but Bridgnorth number eight Charley Wright steps up from the North Midlands Under-20s side having impressed in the recent National Under-20 Championship matches against East Midlands and Cheshire.
A number of players have also been given an opportunity at senior county level having made their mark playing for Greater Birmingham, Shropshire or Worcestershire & Herefordshire in the Iskitz Three Counties Championship this season.
North Midlands host Warwickshire at Bromsgrove on May 12 and complete their group programme with a trip to Taunton to face Somerset on May 19.
