SURREY SQUAD
Ollie Sykes come into the squad for the match with Kent. The batting all-rounder signed a rookie contract with the Three Feathers this week.
Dan Lawrence has joined up with the England Test squad ahead of their series with the West Indies.
After a busy schedule, Will Jacks is having some deserved time off. At the request of the ECB, Sam Curran is also being rested. Both players will be available for selection next week.
KENT SPITFIRES
Captain: Sam Billings
Overseas players: Xavier Bartlett (Australia), Wes Agar (Australia), Charlie Stobo (Australia), Beyers Swanepoel (South Africa)
Finals Day appearances: Four (2007, 2008, 2009, 2021)
Titles: Two (2007, 2021)
Table Standing: Sixth (South Group)
2024 leading run-scorer: Sam Billings (301)
2024 leading wicket-taker: Matt Parkinson (11)
Key winter moves: Jordan Cox may have defected to Essex, but Matt Parkinson’s arrival from Lancashire provides the frontline spin option that George Linde conspicuously didn’t last year. The overseas players will be rotated, with Bartlett limited to eight appearances and Swanepoel expected to provide some lower-order pyrotechnics.
