Yorkshire are set to face Fisher and Surrey in the County Championship game at the Oval that starts today.

It would be the first time that Fisher has faced his former club since his close-season move to the defending champions.

“I'm looking forward to it,” said Hill. “We're all looking forward to it.

“Fish is a great bloke, and I get on really well with him. It’s trying to almost ignore the fact that we like Fish, even though we love him to bits off the pitch.

“It’s seeing him as a bit of an enemy for the week.”

Fisher, 27, has played in four of Surrey’s five Championship games.
