There's the small matter of the WC final - not to mention a round of CC matches - to come first, but it all starts again at Lords on Thursday.
This is the final season of course that the Blast will be the shortest format.
TIMINGS
Group stage: 18 July - 30 August
QFs: 4 Sep - 7 Sep
Finals Day: 21 Sep
England's six tests this summer pretty much run directly alongside, from 24 July to 16 September, so don't expect the test players to be involved prior to Finals Day.

OVERSEAS
To the best of my knowledge (happy to be corrected), the situation is as follows:
Birmingham - Agar, Patel
Derby- Van Beek, Stanlake
Durham - Short, Bancroft (presumably subject to possible Ashes selection)

Glamorgan - Two from M Marsh/S Marsh/Labuschagne (presumably all subject to possible Ashes selection, and injury to S Marsh)
Gloucs - Klinger, Tye
Hants - Morris [no second player - Rahane due to finish this week]
Kent - Milne, Nabi
Lancs - Faulkner, Maxwell (presumably subject to possible Ashes selection)
Leicester - Abbas [no second player]
Middlesex - ABDV, Mujeeb
Northants - Ashraf, Pretorius
Notts - Christian [no second player - it doesn't appear that Ashwin will play t20]
Somerset - Azam, Jerome Taylor
Surrey - Finch (presumably subject to possible Ashes selection) [no other player - it doesn't appear that Elgar will play t20]
Sussex - Carey (presumably subject to possible Ashes selection), Khan
