The 5th placed Knights will see the return of the batter, Raynard van Tonder, seamer Migael Pretorius and all-rounder Patrick Kruger.

After a solid start to the captain the Knights lost their way a bit and it will be important to get a result this week.

Knights coach, Allan Donald, told OFM Sport that they have a fully fit squad and are just keen to play.

“We have a full squad now. Everyone tested this morning (Monday) and it's all good.

“In terms of the game itself, it's so stop-start with so many delays and with 10 days in between games it’s so tough to build any sort of rhythm.

“Losing two days to weather against Western Province was not ideal, but to be honest, in the two days that we did play, we did not really cover ourselves in glory.”

With Van Tonder back it could mean that Nathan Roux, who scored a 50 on debut against Province, could miss out on selection for the important game.

The game between the Knights and Titans at the Mangaung Oval gets underway on Thursday.
