The fixture is the second of the Autoworld Volvo XC90 Chesterfield Festival of Cricket, in association with Chesterfield Borough Council 2015 after Derbyshire were narrowly defeated by Northamptonshire in the NatWest T20 Blast on Sunday 5 July.
The returning Hughes and Thakor have been in fine form for the Derbyshire Second XI with the former scoring an unbeaten double-century and the latter a century in the recent draw with Durham.

Glamorgan, meanwhile, are in search of a fifth successive red-ball win for the first time in their history after the influential signing of skipper Jacques Rudolph during the off-season.
