Academy Duo Eve O'Neill And Shristi Patil Sign First Pro Contracts
Spin bowler Eve O’Neill and batter Shristi Patil have signed one-year professional contracts
Hampshire Cricket are pleased to announce the four recreational clubs selected to receive intensive support this summer.
Portsmouth Cricket Club (May), Sway Cricket Club (June), East Woodhay Cricket Club (July) and Steep Cricket Club (August) have all been chosen as part of the all-new Hampshire Cricket “Club of the Month” initiative.
During the month, the selected club will receive intensive support from Hampshire Cricket, including player visits and online features, to help raise the profile of cricket in their community.

We are excited to be going back to the grassroots of cricket to support these four clubs, who all hugely impressed us with their applications. We hope this initiative will act as a catalyst to raise the profile of recreational cricket across the county, inspiring people of all ages to get along to their local clubs and become involved as players, volunteers and supporters.
