Somerset's Riley Meredith To Miss Six T20 Blast Games After Australia Call-up

By IANS News May 12, 2026 • 17:02 PM View: 200

Riley Meredith: Somerset's plans for the start of their T20 Blast title defence have suffered a major setback after Australia selected Riley Meredith for next month’s white-ball tour of Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The fast bowler, who returned to Taunton for a third straight Blast stint this season, will now miss Somerset’s opening six South Group matches because of international duty with Australia between May 30 and June 14.

Meredith had been expected to lead Somerset’s pace attack again after playing a central role in last year’s trophy-winning campaign. The 29-year-old was the standout bowler of the 2025 Blast, finishing as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 28 scalps in 14 appearances.
