The Vitality T20 Blast 2022 is set to kick off on May 25. The premier domestic T20 competition consists of group stage and knockout games, with the final scheduled to take place on July 16. Each county team will play a total of 14 group-stage games, seven at home and seven away.

The first game sees Yorkshire lock horns with Worcestershire at Headingley in Leeds in a North Group fixture.

Yorkshire have some exciting players on their side. The likes of Finn Allen, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Adil Rashid and David Willey have a good amount of experience and will play a key role in Yorkshire’s progress in the competition. They lost to Sussex in the quarter-finals last year and will be looking to go all the way this time around.

Worcestershire, on the other hand, failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition last year. They finished fourth in the North Group with six wins in 14 games.

It will be interesting to see whether they manage to qualify for the quarter-finals in the upcoming edition of the Vitality T20 Blast. Ben Cox, Josh Baker and Ed Pollock will be looking to contribute to the team’s success.
