Simon Chesher and Richard Barham will be aiming to put Essex back into the top flight of the LTA Winter County Cup this weekend.
The Westcliff Hardcourts players are among the men's team selected in a bid to win promotion to Group One following relegation in bottom spot last year.
Chesher and Barham will be joined by Gavin Bradford, Ben Pritchard, Tom Higgins and Simon Harston at Exmouth.
Missing from the Essex team, which is skippered by non-playing captain Jamie Willson, is Sagoo Jagder, who has other playing commitments.
The Essex men will be contesting Group 2B where they will face Lancashire, Dorset and Devon, who were promoted from Group 3A as champions last winter.
