Hampshire men’s red ball captain Ben Brown has signed a one-year contract extension, until the end of the 2027 season
Hampshire’s County Championship captain Ben Brown has signed a one-year contract extension, which sees him remain at Utilita Bowl until at least the end of the 2027 season.
Brown, 37, joined the Rose and Crown from Sussex ahead of the 2022 season before taking over the reins as red-ball captain in 2025.
Only one Hampshire player, Nick Gubbins, has scored more County Championship runs than Brown since he joined in 2022.
Ben Brown
His 3,082 runs contain six centuries and 15 fifties, with a career-best of 165 not out at Utilita Bowl to set up an innings victory over Surrey.
This season, Brown is Hampshire’s third-leading run-scorer with 470 to his name. He has surpassed 50 five times, going on to reach a century in the win over Yorkshire at Headingley.
With the gloves, Brown has claimed 200 catches, the most of any Division One keeper since 2022.
Since joining the Club, Ben has become an integral part of the squad. He’s a fantastic player, and his experience and leadership continue to drive standards within the group. He’s started the season strongly and will be a key figure for us heading into the business end of the Championship season.
Giles White, Director of Cricket
In white ball cricket, Brown has helped Hampshire to the final of the men’s One-Day Cup twice, in 2023 and 2025, and recorded his highest List A score – 139 not out – against Northamptonshire at Utilita Bowl in 2024.
