Hampshire Announce Squad For Edgbaston Trip

MATCH PREVIEW

Warwickshire v Hampshire

Specsavers County Championship Division One

 10 – 13 July (11:00 - 18:00)

Edgbaston

Hampshire will look to extend their five-match unbeaten run against Warwickshire when they take on the third-placed side at Edgbaston in the Specsavers County Championship on Sunday.

Hampshire Squad:

Will Smith is set to continue his duties as stand-in four-day skipper in James Vince’s absence, having led Hampshire to a convincing draw against his former club, Durham. He and Jimmy Adams built a 160-run opening stand in an impressive first innings performance with the bat. 

Promising young batsman Tom Alsop has once again been included in Hampshire’s 12-man squad, which includes four-day specialist James Tomlinson.

The Opposition:

Spinner Jeetan Patel is Warwickshire’s main bowling threat, having taken ten wickets in his team’s 10-wicket victory over Surrey.

With a wealth of international experience between them, Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott are capable of scoring heavily with the bat. Trott scored 123 runs at Guildford last week.
