SURREY SQUAD
Surrey name the same squad from the victory on the south coast.
GLAMORGAN
Captain: Kiran Carlson
Overseas players: Marnus Labuschagne (Australia), Colin Ingram (South Africa).
Finals Day appearances: Two (2008, 2017)
Titles: None
2023 finish: Eighth (South Group)
2023 leading run-scorer: Chris Cooke (419)
2023 leading wicket-taker: Jamie McIlroy (19)
Key winter moves: The arrival of Mason Crane over the winter is the big signing for Glamorgan’s white-ball hopes. An attacking spinner with a proven track record in the Blast, Crane adds some firepower to the Glamorgan attack.
The big question: Last year Glamorgan started with four wins out of their first five matches before a long injury list meant they fell away, winning just one more match before the end of the group stage. The question for 2024 will be whether they can perform consistently throughout the tournament.
Wildcard watch: Mason Crane is thriving on the back of playing every game for his new county, and with leg spinners being a much sort after commodity there is a good chance of him using his Championship form as a springboard to success in the Blast and into one of The Hundred squads.
Final thought: With a strong batting line up and a tidy white-ball bowling attack Glamorgan should be targeting a quarter-finals place. From there three good games would see them claim their maiden T20 title.
