A Bolt from the Blue for T20 Opener?

The Hawk expects a surprising name in the squad for the opening T20 Blast clash of the season against Somerset - and given Hampshire's currently bowling stocks in white ball cricket, it's possible he could force his way into the starting line-up for the opener.

Hampshire begin their T20 Blast campaign against Somerset at Taunton tomorrow night.

And there could be a surprise name in Hampshire's bowling line-up.

The game is a re-run of last year's final, which tomorrow's hosts won by six wickets at Edgbaston back in September, thanks largely to Will Smeed's 94 off just 58 balls.

Now, eight months on, both sides are among the favourites again.
