Your complete guide to when the T20 Blast 2023 goes ahead, including a full schedule of fixtures.
The T20 Blast is approaching and the full schedule of fixtures for the season has been set in stone.
Last season's North Group winners Birmingham Bears face Yorkshire Vikings in the opening match live on TV.
The runners-up in 2022, Lancashire Lightning, are also involved in the first day of action with fans gearing up for another exciting battle for the crown.
Hampshire Hawks triumphed in 2022 as they defeated Lancashire by a single run in a frenetic finish to the tournament.
The Hawks thought they had won it after Nathan Ellis bowled Richard Gleeson and fireworks erupted from around Edgbaston. However, the delivery was declared a no-ball.
Gleeson was afforded a free hit with just two runs to win it all, but could only muster a single before Hampshire went for a second take of their celebrations.
