Surrey Bolster T20 Squad With Mitchell Santner Signing For Vitality Blast
Performance Cricket Advisor: Surrey have secured a major boost for their T20 campaign, signing New Zealand’s Mitchell Santner for the majority of the 2025 Vitality Blast season. The experienced all-rounder, known for his left-arm spin and handy batting, is set to play eight group-stage matches and, if Surrey qualify, the knockout rounds in September.
Santner’s arrival fills a critical gap in Surrey’s T20 squad, which lacked a specialist frontline spinner last season. In 2024’s Blast campaign, Surrey relied on Dan Lawrence, Cameron Steel, and Will Jacks for spin options, but the addition of Santner brings proven quality and over 200 appearances in T20 cricket.
“I’m really looking forward to connecting with the players and coaching staff at Surrey. I've heard quality things about the environment and have thoroughly enjoyed playing at the Kia Oval previously. I’ve been fortunate to play against many of the squad, so it will be great to share the same changing room and play some entertaining cricket,” Santner said after signing with the club.
