Dan Hughes to replace Finn Allen for Brave opener

Sydney Sixers and Sussex Sharks’ opening batter Dan Hughes replaces Finn Allen for Southern Brave’s opening match against London Spirit on Wednesday 24 July at Utilita Bowl.

Hughes, 35, has played 119 T20 matches with a best of 96*, coming against Middlesex on 19 July, whilst striking at a shade under 130 runs per 100 balls.

He is currently the leading run scorer in the Vitality Blast, with 560 runs to his name, as Sussex Sharks secured a home quarter final against Lancashire.

The powerful left-hander is a serial lifter of silverware, having won back-to-back Big Bash League titles with Sydney Sixers, a side featuring Brave captain James Vince, in 2020 and 2021.

He will also join up with some of his Sussex teammates from this summer in Tymal Mills, Jofra Archer, and James Coles.

Banton leads holders Somerset back to Finals Day​


Tom Banton led defending champions Somerset back to T20 Blast Finals Day as they beat Northamptonshire by 17 runs in their quarter-final at Wantage Road.

Banton made 75 from 43 balls to help his side post 215-3, having lost the toss on a damp and cold evening.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore also made 63 from 43 having been dropped early in his innings, one of a number of fielding errors by the home side.

Northants captain David Willey led the chase with 57 from 39 balls but, with 57 needed from 20 deliveries, he holed out to deep cover and the hosts could only reach 198-5.

Victory means Somerset will return to Finals Day for a fourth consecutive year and they now have the chance to become the first team to defend the T20 title.

Sent in, the early going was difficult with some movement off the pitch and they lost Will Smeed for six in the second over, caught behind off Willey.

But Banton found his touch, lifting Jack White for his first six as Somerset ended the powerplay on a healthy 49-1.

Banton slog-swept Freddie Heldreich's left-arm wrist spin for back-to-back sixes in the eighth over before passing 50 in 31 balls - his fourth half-century of the competition.

He added two further sixes before holing out to Saif Zaib's left-arm spin as Northants finally broke a partnership of 125 in 75 balls.

The stand should have ended much earlier as Gus Miller totally missed a simple catch at long-off that would have removed Kohler-Cadmore for just seven but he went on to strike four sixes to reach 50 in 38 balls before he fell to Ben Sanderson.

Sean Dickson then made 33 off 17 to lift Somerset to their second-highest total of the tournament.

Ricardo Vasconcelos ignited the chase by taking 18 from the final over of the powerplay to leave the home side 52-1 after six overs.

Willey followed with a flat six over long-on off Craig Overton's final ball before another six was pulled over deep square.

But Vasconcelos scooped Lewis Gregory to long leg to fall for 30 in 24 balls and after Justin Broad began to fire with 29 in 17, he popped a return catch back to Gregory to leave Northants 114-3 in the 13th over.

Northants needed 79 from the final five overs and Zaib kept the hosts in it with two pick-ups over the leg side for six but he skied up a catch to depart for 32 in 16 balls.

Willey brought up his half-century in 35 deliveries but became starved of the strike and when he also fell, to Jake Ball, the Northants chase petered out.

In 22 years of the T20 competition, Gloucestershire take the big prize for the first time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏆

Worcestershire County Cricket Club have received a suspended two-point T20 points deduction for the 2025 season from an independent panel of the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) after the club and batter Josh Cobb admitted a breach of ECB Directives 3.2 and 3.3 and agreed for the case to be determined pursuant to the Summary Procedure.

The charges related to Mr Cobb’s use of a bat which failed a bat-gauge test during Worcestershire’s Vitality T20 Blast game against Durham on 5 July 2024. Mr Cobb had not faced a delivery at the time the bat was tested.

The CDC Adjudicator originally imposed a two-point T20 points deduction for the 2025 season. Worcestershire appealed the CDC Adjudicator’s decision on sanction and the Cricket Regulator sought clarification on certain elements of the original decision of the CDC Adjudicator.

The CDC Adjudicator has now revised his decision so that the two-point deduction is suspended and will be imposed if Worcestershire commit a further breach of this nature.
