Jamie Smith will hope to make his IT20 debut after finishing the 2024 Vitality Blast as Surrey’s top run-scorer with 285 runs from eight innings. Jamie Overton remains in the squads following the autumn tour of the West Indies. Gus Atkinson returns to the white ball squad for the first time since the December 2023 tour of the West Indies.
