Surrey are favourites to wrestle back the County Championship Division One title from Nottinghamshire.
Former England coach Peter Moores led the Trent Bridge side to their first top-flight title in 15 years and, in the process, ended Surrey's three-year domination of the division.

Despite coming off second best in 2025, it is Surrey who are most fancied to regain their crown at 7/4.
Their squad, very much spearheaded by captain Rory Burns and fellow opener Dom Sibley, is littered with experience, quality and overseas flair that makes them a feared outfit in the county game.
Although they were beaten to the title by Nottinghamshire last season, the market expects Somerset (9/2) to pose the biggest title threat.
Often the bridesmaid in this competition - six runner-up finishes since the turn of the century - the likes of Lewis Gregory, James Rew and Jack Leach have the quality to end their barren spell.
Following a turbulent time off the pitch, Sussex (16/1) will begin the season with a 12-point deduction but have a setup more than capable of overturning that fairly quickly.
Ollie Robinson has been given the captaincy and with what looks like a make-or-break summer ahead of him with regard to his England future, he will be keen to make an impression before the beginning of the Test summer.
Any odds displayed were correct at the time of writing and are subject to fluctuation.
