T20 Blast: Sam Curran and James Coles look to build on impressive seasons, Tammy Beaumont and Davina Perrin make England cases

The T20 Blast is here - and 18 teams kick off their campaign on Friday.

The men's tournament is set to feature a plethora of stars old and new looking to build their international portfolios across formats - and a star-studded Surrey side is aiming for their first win since their inaugural tournament victory in 2003.

Meanwhile, many women's sides are suffering from their own success as internationals flock to their World Cup squads - but the handful who remain in the competition are ready to make their coaches lament their omissions.
