Kent Spitfires squad to play Somerset in NatWest T20 Blast

Table-topping Kent Spitfires make one change to their NatWest T20 Blast squad for the visit of Somerset to The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence on Friday evening.

Fit-again Calum Haggett returns to the squad after making his return from a side strain in the LV= County Championship win at Leicestershire this week.

He replaces paceman Ivan Thomas, who is out with a similar injury, which could keep him sidelined for at least a fortnight.

500 supporters will enjoy a free pint of cider thanks to match sponsors Thatchers Gold, the official cider of Kent Cricket and Somerset County Cricket Club.

Kent have seven wins from 10 games to date with the final home game against Glamorgan at the Nevill Ground, Tunbridge Wells next Friday (5.30pm start).

Spitfires squad to face Somerset:17 Sam Northeast (c), 23 Daniel Bell-Drummond, 6 Joe Denly, 20 Sam Billings (wk), 30 Fabian Cowdrey, 3 Darren Stevens, 10 Alex Blake, 24 Adam Ball, 25 Calum Haggett, 26 Matt Coles, 15 James Tredwell, 8 Mitch Claydon, 19 Sam Weller.
