Ben Brown Signs Contract Extension Until 2026

The 36-year-old wicket-keeper batsman stepped into the County Championship captaincy role in 2025 and has led the team through a challenging transitional period in Division One.

Since joining Hampshire in 2022, Brown has featured 81 times for the club across the County Championship and One Day Cup formats, establishing himself as a reliable performer both behind the stumps and with the bat.

"I've had such a great time playing here," said Brown. "I've been treated really well here and I've really enjoyed it. It's been in the making for a while, but I'm really happy and looking forward to another summer."

Brown's experience will prove crucial as Hampshire continue to develop their young bowling attack and navigate the demands of Division One cricket. The extension provides stability as the club looks to build on their strong foundations heading into the 2026 season.
