The T20 Blast 2021 will start in England on Wednesday. Lancashire, Derbyshire, Worcestershire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Essex, Kent and Hampshire will take the field on the first day.
England’s national team members, county cricketers and overseas players will take part in the T20 extravaganza.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who had to warm the benches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 due to a finger injury, will play his trade for Durham.
Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Banton and Dawid Malan will also add glitter to the already star-studded tournament.
Adam Milne, Chris Green, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham and Finn Allen are some of the top overseas participants. The marquee event will miss the services of Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, Pakistan’s Mohammad Amir and Australia’s Dan Christian.
While Amir and Rashid can be seen in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 in Abu Dhabi, Dan will have to miss the T20 Blast following his selection in the 29-man preliminary squad for the Australia tour of West Indies.
