Dawson Included In England Squads For Sri Lanka Tour And Provisional T20 World Cup
Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson has been selected for England's white-ball tour of Sri Lanka and the provisional squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
Hampshire travelled to Radlett to face off against Middlesex, having won one out of their opening three fixtures.
Although the result did not go the Hawks way, there were some outstanding contributions to look back on.
Wicket-keeper/batter McManus was promoted up the order to number four and the decision paid off, as the powerful right hander smashed 47 from just 23 balls including three sixes and four fours.

Coming in after 10 overs and a platform already set by openers Vince and Short, McManus got straight to work, pulling a short ball off Holman for six off only his fourth delivery faced.
The next ball was a similar length and the Hampshire man rocked back and pulled it over fine-leg for four runs.
The academy graduate took a liking to Steven Finn, hitting back-to-back fours in an over which went for 16.

In the penultimate over, bowled by Australian spinner Chris Green, McManus decided this was his chance to attack, hitting two sixes in three balls.
McManus was dismissed in the final over of the innings, helping Hampshire to a monstrous total of 215/6 from their 20 overs.
