The 20th edition of Vitality Blast T20 will kickstart with an encounter between last year's champions Kent Spitfires and runners up Somerset on Wednesday (25 May). 


This year's Blast will see the T20 action for straight seven weeks, followed by the One Day Cup. The quarter-finals will be held from 6-9 July, with the grand finale scheduled to be played on 16 July at Edgbaston.
