Somerset
Captain: Sean Dickson
Since winning the 2019 Royal London Cup, Somerset have found the 50-over competition difficult to navigate, having failed to qualify from the group stages ever since. In 2023, they won only three of their eight matches and finished seventh in Group B, six points off of those in the qualification spots. However, this year has started off very brightly with a victory over Kent Spitfires in the opening match.
Andy Umeed, who finished with the second most runs and highest average of any batter to play more than six matches last year, started the competition in similar form this time around. His unbeaten 114 proved to be match winning against Kent. Alongside Umeed, the likes of George Thomas, James Rew and skipper Sean Dickson represent some solid depth in the batting line-up. Somerset also boast a young but talented bowling line-up with six of the seven who bowled in the opening match under the age of 24. Lewis Goldsworthy took his career best in all formats, while Kasey Aldridge and Alfie Ogborne also taking wickets. England Test spinner Jack Leach is a very dangerous option also.
2023 Season In Numbers:
7th in Group B
