Overton wants to have a Blast and end Somerset woe

Craig Overton is determined to help Somerset add another trophy during an era of remarkable white-ball consistency ahead of a fifth consecutive appearance in the Vitality Blast Finals Day.

Somerset ended a long list of near-misses with T20 success in 2023 and followed it up with a runner-up showing to Gloucestershire last year.

Overton is well aware of the club's past reputation as bridesmaids, but after Royal London One-Day Cup glory in 2019 was backed up with a Finals Day triumph at Edgbaston two years ago, the 31-year-old is buoyant about their chances.

"We know it’s a great period for us, but we've obviously got that reputation from previous years of becoming bridesmaids," Overton told the PA news agency.
