Somerset head coach Andy Hurry believes they can go one better than their efforts in domestic cricket and win the Champions League Twenty20.

The Sabres are determined to round off a season which saw them finish runners-up in the Twenty20 Cup and Pro40 by winning a trophy.

Hurry told BBC Radio Bristol: "Bottom line is none of that won us silverware and everyone's aware of that.

"We want to make sure we finish that job off and get our just deserts."

Somerset qualified for the inaugural world club competition by finishing runners-up in the Twenty20 Cup to Sussex who will be joining them in India.

Teams from India, Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and the West Indies will be vying for the trophy.

The Sabres' first game in the competition is against Deccan Chargers in Hyderabad on 10 October.

"To be involved in a competition of that status is something as a player or coach you may never experience," said Hurry.

Any team on their day is beatable Andy Hurry

"But we've got the opportunity this year and everyone is pumped about it.

"Going to another country to play cricket is the first thing. Second thing is crowds we're going to be playing in front of and the grounds we'll be playing at will be a whole new experience.

"Playing against the individuals in the opposition teams is again going to be another challenge for us.

"But at the end of the day they're just names on pieces of paper and they've still got to go out there and hit the ball and bowl the ball.

"It's how they react under pressure and how they can execute their skills. Any team on their day is beatable."
