As the new season begins, the spotlight is on Surrey, who enter as the reigning champions for the third straight year. Their ongoing dominance mirrors Yorkshire라이브 바카라 golden run in the 1960s, making them the clear favorites to defend their crown once again.

Surrey has bolstered their already impressive squad with the signing of Yorkshire seamer Matthew Fisher, who shone in Division Two last year. They have also brought in all-rounder Nathan Smith to further strengthen their depth.

While Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson, and Jamie Smith are likely to be part of England라이브 바카라 Test squads, the presence of Ollie Pope between international commitments could provide much-needed balance.

Somerset, still in pursuit of their maiden Division One title, will be eager to challenge Surrey라이브 바카라 supremacy. After finishing third in 2024, they have opted against major domestic signings but secured New Zealand pacer Matt Henry for the early part of the season—an acquisition that could be game-changing.

Their spin attack, led by Archie Vaughan and Jack Leach, offers an advantage on turning pitches, while Will Smeed라이브 바카라 renewed commitment to red-ball cricket could be a vital factor.

The 125th edition of the County Championship is set to begin on April 4, 2025. The competition will feature 18 teams divided into two divisions—one with ten teams and the other with eight. Sussex and Yorkshire have earned promotion to Division One, while Kent and Lancashire have dropped to Division Two following their performances last season.

Surrey secured their third consecutive County Championship title in 2024, marking their 23rd overall, including a shared victory in 1950. This achievement made them the first team in 56 years to win three in a row, a feat last accomplished by Yorkshire between 1966 and 1968.
