Of course both sides are allowed fully participating substitutes for any players that leave for England duties.
I think it's a good idea to share the captaincy around, it helps develop leadership skills, and understanding.
Ethan Brookes is captain today according to the live scores link.
It's not unusual for a player to be included in a squad when he is recovering from an injury and a decison is made on the day of the game if he is fit enough to play, or for a player to be injured after a squad is selected.

Probably a few trialists in the side this week due to injuries and the first team game.
Should this thread be moved into the "General cricket" area, as Warwickshire are not involved in this competition?
I think he's played a small amount of SET20, but a lot less games than some non-contract players eg Roshan Balaji.
I'd think there could we be a number of changes in the squad for next season.
Players like Garrett, Furrer, Sidebottom and Kelley are not putting forward any reasons to be in the first team, or indeed to have a contract extention, so I'd not be surprised if they were released at the end of their contracts.
Benjamin and Bethell have already been added to the squad, with others to follow.
He needs to keep working hard on and off the field to ensure he's offered a full contract at the end of the summer.
Good luck to him.
13 man squad, Ethan B, Jake Linnott and OHD are added, Pieter Malan, Liam Norcross & Jacob B drop out
Kelley isn't getting any runs in the B'ham league, despite being allowed to bat in the top 5 for his club.
A back up keeper and asome back up for Briggs have to be a priority over the winter.
Yorkshire finished the day on 13/2, there was no play after 4:46 due to rain.
Assume he was just signed for the day, as we were short of players.
Also, we have top order first team players involved in this game so may not have needed him.
A return to 4 day cricket after winning the SET20, at the Leeds Uni sports complex.

Tyler McGladdery is the only new name in the squad, a left hand bat/SLA from Burnley.
On a trial as with the T20 squad and injuries we need additional bodies.
Of course Dernbach & both Currans play/played for Surrey which always gives players an advantage at gaining and retaining an England place.
The situation in South Africa is complex, with sides not been selected purely on cricketing ability.
Also if a player has family links with the UK they may prefer to spend theri working life here.
He'd be on a student visa, unless he's already applied for EUSS. However for cricket purposes he'd be classed as an overseas player.
Matt Mongomery is a former South Africa U19 captain, whos spent the summer with Notts 2nd team.
Is there any news what Yates illness is?
He's been out for almost 4 weeks, very unusual for someone of his age.
Good to see Matt Lamb included in the squad he should have been included all the time.
Finals day for the Second Eleven T20 competition, with 9 wins from 10 games Warwickshire have qualified for the semi finals.
