Hampshire have been handed an immediate opportunity for revenge after the release of Vitality T20 fixtures for 2026.

The county were on the wrong end of a defeat against Somerset in Finals Day at Edgbaston back in September.

Now they will head to Taunton on the opening day to take on Jason Kerr's men under the lights on 22 May as part of a double-header that will also see Hampshire's women in action.

Georgia Adam's side then head to the north east to face Durham two days later.
