ADRIAN MULLEN WILL make his first competitive start for Kilkenny since recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in 2020.
The Cats face Dublin in Parnell Park at 3.30pm in their Allianz Hurling League Division 1 Group B opener.
Mullen has been handed the armband for the coming campaign and lines out at centre-forward. Clubmate TJ Reid is named on the edge of the square, as fellow Ballyhale man Darragh Corcoran makes his debut at wing-back.
Brian Lohan has also named his Clare side for their clash against Antrim on Sunday.
The Banner travel to Corrigan Park to take on the Saffrons in Division 1 Group B on Sunday at 1pm, with John Conlon captaining the team from centre-back.
Like Mullen, Conlon missed the 2020 season after damaging cruciate ligaments in his knee and his return is a major boost for Clare.
Tony Kelly partners Clarecastle youngster Cian Galvin in midfield as Shane O’Donnell, Ryan Taylor and Aron Shanagher form a potent-looking full-forward line.
