Champions League Twenty20 2009 – Somerset Squad
Much of the attention surrounding Somerset’s campaign will centre on their star batsman, Marcus Trescothick. This will be his first overseas assignment since pulling out of Somerset’s pre-season visit to Dubai in 2008 with a recurrence of his stress-related illness that originally occurred in 2006. Trescothick has been in sparkling form all season, and was rewarded with the Most Valuable Player award by the Professional Cricketers’ Association for 2934 runs across all competitions. He is part of a redoubtable top order, which also has Justin Langer, the promising wicketkeeper-batsman Craig Kieswetter, and James Hildreth. The bowling inspires less confidence, though, with the spin department being particularly weak.
