Chris Wood Awarded New Contact Extension

The 30-year-old seamer has signed an extended deal, keeping him at the The Ageas Bowl until at least the end of 2021

Wednesday December 2 2020

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce that Chris Wood has signed a new white-ball contract extension.

The 30-year-old seamer has been awarded an extended deal which will see him remain at the The Ageas Bowl until at least the end of 2021.

A Hampshire Academy product who developed through the Club’s youth system as a youngster, Wood has made more than 250 appearances for across all formats since making his first-team debut in 2010.

The left-armer has been instrumental to Hampshire’s success in that time, particularly in white-ball cricket, having featured prominently in Hampshire’s inaugural T20 title win in 2010, double limited-over triumphs in 2012 and victorious 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup campaign.

Wood has claimed 243 wickets at an impressive average of 27.30 in his 210 limited-overs appearances, claiming 137 wickets in T20 matches, whilst totalling 106 scalps in List A contests.

The Basingstoke-born paceman is also the Club’s all-time leading T20 wicket-taker, having overtaken former spinner Danny Briggs in 2019.

I’m delighted to sign a new extension at Hampshire, continuing my stay at my boyhood Club. I’m excited about what we can achieve as a group next year, and hopefully I can continue to improve my game and contribute to future successes here as part of that.
Chris Wood

Chris has been a standout performer for us for a long time now and we’re thrilled he’s signed a new extension. We obviously know Chris very well having been a key member of our white-ball sides over the last 10 years; skilful, streetwise and a great team man - he remains a huge asset for us as we look ahead to 2021.
Giles White. Director of Cricket

Wood announced his retirement from red-ball cricket in March in order to concentrate fully on a career as a limited-overs specialist.
