Somerset County Cricket Club is enjoying its best start to a season in seven years, currently leading the County Championship Division One after winning two matches and drawing one. Director of cricket Andy Hurry noted that the abrupt change in pre-season plans, which included the cancellation of their typical trip to Abu Dhabi, fostered team unity and better preparation. Instead, the team trained at Desert Springs resort in Spain, which proved beneficial. Their season began with a draw against defending champions Nottinghamshire, followed by a decisive 10-wicket victory over Essex and a tense win against Hampshire. Hurry emphasized the importance of the team's preparation and the momentum gained from their early matches.
