Australian All-Rounder Hilton Cartwright Joins The Hawks For Remaining Vitality Blast Group Stage

Zimbabwe-born Australian all-rounder Hilton Cartwright joins Hampshire Hawks for the remainder of the Vitality Blast group stage

Australian all-rounder Hilton Cartwright joins Hampshire Hawks for the remainder of the Vitality Blast group stage.

The signing comes after international call ups for Hawks overseas players Dewald Brevis and Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who have been named in South Africa men’s Test squad to play Zimbabwe from 28 June.

It’s great to sign for the Hawks for the back end of the Blast and join up with Chris Lynn, I’ve had some great battles with him on the cricket field. I hope I can make this stint a memorable one and get the team in a great spot to get to Finals Day come September.

Hilton Cartwright

In 103 matches in the Australian Big Bash League (BBL), Cartwright has scored nearly 2000 runs with seven fifties.

He has featured four times for Australia across Test cricket and ODIs, all in 2017, having previously been named as the Bradman Young Cricket of the Year.

It’s great to welcome Hilton to the club for the remaining Blast games. He’s a dynamic cricketer and will be a great addition to the team as we push for the knockout stages.
