Three Hampshire Men Earn Contracts With The ECB
Hampshire’s Liam Dawson, Sonny Baker, and Eddie Jack have all been awarded contracts with the ECB
Lauren Bell has been named in England's IT20 squad for the first time as England take on India in a three-match series starting on September 10th.
Fellow Vipers Maia Bouchier, Freya Kemp and Danni Wyatt are also included in the 14-player squad with Katherine Brunt rested.

Bell has been a standout performer both at regional level for the Southern Vipers and in The Hundred for the Southern Brave with the fast bowler taking 11 wickets during the 2022 edition of the competition.
The Wiltshire native began her international career earlier this summer making her Test debut in June during the one-off match against South Africa.
After discussions with Katherine she felt the best thing for her was to rest across both the T20 and ODI series. We fully support that decision with a view to maximising her mental and physical recovery off the back of what has been an intense year so far.
Lisa Keightley, Head Coach
That provides an opportunity for Lauren Bell, who was impressive in The Hundred, and with her, Alice Capsey, Freya Kemp and Issy Wong in the squad we're starting to see a group of exciting young players who have the chance to cement their place in the England team.
England Women Squad: Nat Sciver (Northern Diamonds, cap), Lauren Bell (Southern Vipers), Maia Bouchier (Southern Vipers), Alice Capsey (South East Stars), Kate Cross (Thunder), Freya Davies (South East Stars), Sophia Dunkley (South East Stars), Sophie Ecclestone (Thunder), Sarah Glenn (Central Sparks), Amy Jones (Central Sparks), Freya Kemp (Southern Vipers), Bryony Smith (South East Stars), Issy Wong (Central Sparks), Danni Wyatt (Southern Vipers)
