Vitality Blast 2026 squads and teams

Derbyshire Falcons

17 players

Captain: Aneurin Donald

This 17-player season group is the union of Derbyshire's official men's Blast squad announcements from the opener through the final match. The final 14-player list is supplemented only by Caleb Jewell, Mitch Wagstaff and Rory Haydon, who appeared in earlier official T20 squads. It is a season-specific men's list, not the larger multi-format county directory or the separate Falcons women's squad.

Durham

17 players

Captain: Alex Lees

This 17-player season group is the union of Durham's official men's Blast squad announcements from the opener through Brydon Carse's July return. It includes all 15 players who appeared in a 2026 Blast XI plus Shafiqullah Ghafari and Haydon Mustard, who were selected in official match squads. It does not mix in the larger multi-format county directory or Durham Women's separate squad.

Essex

16 players

Captain: Simon Harmer

This 16-player season group combines Essex's official 13-player opening squad, the 14-player quarter-final squad and every player used in a 2026 Blast XI. Wiaan Mulder and Simon Fernandes belonged to the early group; Charlie Allison, Sam Cook and Jordan Cox joined later selections, while Robin Das remained in published squads. It is separate from the wider multi-format men's directory and Essex Women's squad.

• Jordan CoxWK-Batter

Glamorgan

19 players

Captain: Kiran Carlson

This 19-player group follows Glamorgan's published match squads during the completed Blast campaign. Seventeen names appeared in at least one match. Colin Ingram played the opener, while Eddie Byrom and Callum Rhys Nicholls were documented on the bench but did not appear; the page does not invent an injury or selection reason for any later absence.

• Sean DicksonBatter

Gloucestershire

18 players

Captain: Jack Taylor

These 18 players form the final quarter-final squad and bench, cross-checked against all completed 2026 Blast scorecards. Every name appeared at least once during the 13-match campaign, but they were not one fixed or simultaneously available squad; the page excludes contracted players who did not appear or enter a documented Blast match group.

Hampshire Hawks

18 players

Captain: James Vince

This 18-name group comes from Hampshire's completed 2026 final match sheet: the playing XI plus seven listed substitutes or reserves. It records Finals Day selection scope, not 18 appearances or a claim that every player was available throughout the season.

• Tristan StubbsWK-Batter
• Scott CurrieAll-Rounder

Kent Spitfires

21 players

Captain: Sam Billings · men's T20 captain

This 21-player season group combines Kent's announced T20 overseas and senior signings with every player documented in the completed 2026 Blast statistics. Senuran Muthusamy remains listed as a signed full-season overseas all-rounder even though the final Blast statistics record no appearance; Hasan Mahmud and Dian Forrester are included because they played during the campaign. It is narrower than Kent's full multi-format county directory.

• Fred KlaassenBowler

• Jaydn DenlyAll-Rounder

Lancashire Lightning

24 players

Captain: Keaton Jennings · men's Vitality Blast captain

This 24-player season group combines Lancashire's official match-squad announcements, mid-season replacement and completed scorecard participants. Rocky Flintoff and Charlie Barnard were selected without appearing; Jos Buttler played once and Phil Salt twice. The directory records the whole documented T20 timeline, not 24 appearances, and remains narrower than Lancashire's full multi-format men's squad.

• Shadab KhanAll-Rounder
• Jos ButtlerWK-Batter

Leicestershire Foxes

20 players

Captain: Ben Green · 2026 men's Vitality Blast captain

This 20-player season group combines Leicestershire's official opening squad with later official squad announcements and signings. It records players selected or documented in T20 match-day groups during the campaign, not an unsupported claim that every player appeared. Keshav Maharaj was replaced before the season and Ajaz Patel was rested throughout the Blast, so neither is added to this T20 group.

Middlesex

19 players

Captain: Leus du Plooy · 2026 men's captain

This 19-player season group is the union of Middlesex's official opening, early-June, Essex and final-match squad announcements. It records players officially selected in a 2026 Blast match-day group, including short-term signings Matt Boyle and Adam Rossington, rather than presenting the club's wider multi-format roster as a T20 squad.

Northamptonshire Steelbacks

16 players

Captain: David Willey · 2026 T20 captain

This 16-player season group is the union of Northamptonshire's official opening, mid-campaign and late-group squad announcements. It records players selected in a 2026 Blast match-day group; Justin Broad's campaign ended through injury before the knockouts, while the remaining title-winning XI came from the same documented group.

• David WilleyAll-Rounder
• James SalesAll-Rounder
• George ScrimshawBowler

Notts Outlaws

20 players

Captain: Joe Clarke · T20 captain

The 20-player season group starts with the 15 names displayed in Nottinghamshire's official opening-match squad graphic. George Linde joined after his initial visa delay; Freddie McCann, Liam Patterson-White, Mohammad Amir and Binura Fernando are included because official reports document their 2026 Blast appearances. Peter Siddle is excluded because the club confirmed his withdrawal before the competition.

• Tom MooresWK-Batter

Somerset

20 players

Captain: Lewis Gregory · Club and T20 captain

The 20-player season group combines Somerset's official 13-man opening squad, the quarter-final squad and documented 2026 participants. Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Archie Vaughan, Riley Meredith, Josh Shaw and Jack Leach entered the published knockout group; Jordan Hermann and Alfie Ogborne are retained because completed competition records document their appearances.

Surrey

34 players

Captain: Sam Curran · 2026 men's T20 captain

The 34-name directory combines the 33 men on Surrey's current official squad page with Josh Philippe, whose in-season Vitality Blast signing and seven appearances are separately documented. It is a transparent club-and-season timeline, not a claim that every all-format squad member appeared in the Blast.

Sussex Sharks

27 players

Captain: Tymal Mills · 2026 T20 captain

The 27 names reproduce Sussex's current official men's player directory as checked on 10 August 2026. It is an all-format club directory: some players were unavailable for, or did not appear in, the 12-match Blast campaign, while official match squads identify the T20 participants.

Warwickshire Bears

25 players

Captain: Ed Barnard · men's white-ball captain

The club's current men's directory contains 23 players. Usman Tariq is added from Warwickshire's official Blast signing and all 11 completed scorecards in which he appeared; George Garton is retained because official 2026 Blast match material named him in the squad. Sixteen of the 25 documented names appeared in at least one league match. This broader roster is not mislabeled as a list of only the playing XIs.

Worcestershire Rapids

22 players

Captain: Brett D'Oliveira · Adam Hose from 27 June

The club's official senior directory lists 22 players. Fifteen of them appeared in the completed 2026 Blast: Brett D'Oliveira, Adam Hose, Kashif Ali, Ben Allison, Ethan Brookes, Henry Cullen, Adam Finch, Isaac Mohammed, Gareth Roderick, Fateh Singh, Tom Taylor, Matthew Waite, Sikandar Raza, Usama Mir and Beyers Swanepoel. The other seven remain in the current senior directory but are not presented as 2026 T20 participants. Ben Dwarshuis is not included: Worcestershire announced that his planned return became unavailable before the tournament.

Yorkshire

34 players

Captain: Jonny Bairstow · Blast 2026

This source-scoped current roster contains 34 ongoing all-format entries. Jhye Richardson is retained in Yorkshire's historical career context but excluded here because the club announced only a completed first block of 2026 County Championship fixtures, not a Blast or continuing all-format contract. Sixteen players appeared in the completed 2026 Blast: Adam Lyth, AJ Tye, Dan Moriarty, Dom Bess, Faheem Ashraf, George Hill, Hassan Ali, Jafer Chohan, James Wharton, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Logan van Beek, Matthew Revis, Moeen Ali, Sam Whiteman and Will Luxton. Other Championship, One-Day Cup or later-window registrations are not described as Blast participants.
