Hampshire are without Jackson Bird AND Andre Adams for their opening LV County Championship match against Sussex.
The seamers signed for the first three months of the season but are unfit for the first game so 18 year-old Brad Wheal is set for his debut.
New signing Gareth Berg is also in the squad.
Director of cricket Giles White said: “It would have been nice to play both Jackson and Andre but there is competition for places this year and it gives an opportunity to someone else early in the season."
Hampshire (from): Adams, Carberry, Smith, Vince, Dawson, Ervine, Wheater, Berg, Tomlinson, Briggs, Wood, Wheal
