Russell Domingo has been named as men’s Head Coach on a two-year deal across all formats with Shane Burger appointed Bowling Coach
Hampshire Cricket can confirm appointments for the roles of Head Coach and Assistant Coaches.
South African Russell Domingo joins on a two-year deal as Head Coach across all formats, bringing extensive international experience. He is joined by former Scotland Men’s Head Coach Shane Burger, who arrives as Assistant Coach (Bowling).
Former Club Captain Jimmy Adams, who led the side during the 2025 Metro Bank One Day Cup, continues in his role as Assistant Coach (Batting), strengthening a coaching team shaped around the principles that sit at the heart of Hampshire Cricket.
Domingo, 51, was head coach of South Africa from 2012-2017 and had former Hampshire Head Coach Adi Birrell as his assistant from 2013.
He then went on to lead Bangladesh from 2019-2021, during which the Tigers beat Australia 4-1 in an IT20 series, the first series win for Bangladesh over Australia in any format, and followed it up with a 3-2 IT20 series win against New Zealand.
I'm thrilled to be joining Hampshire Cricket. This is a club with incredible history, outstanding facilities at Utilita Bowl, and a clear vision for success both on and off the field. I've been genuinely impressed by the ambition here and the strong cultural values that underpin everything Hampshire does.
The combination of developing young talent whilst competing for trophies is exactly the challenge I'm looking for, and I can't wait to get started. I'm looking forward to working alongside Jimmy and Shane and getting to know the players as we prepare for what promises to be an exciting season ahead.

Assistant Coaches
Shane Burger, who has previous head coach roles at KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and the Scotland men’s team, joins from Somerset as Bowling Coach. The all-rounder claimed 171 First-Class wickets at an average of 24 in a career that spanned 15 seasons from 2001-2015.
I’m really excited to be joining Hampshire Cricket. The quality of young bowlers coming through here is exceptional. Sonny Baker, Eddie Jack and Scott Currie have already earned England recognition, and I’m looking forward to helping them continue that development.
I love the ambition and vision of the club, and the future seems bright. I’m excited to be part of that journey alongside Russell and Jimmy, and I can’t wait to get started.
Shane Burger, Assistant Coach (Bowling)
Jimmy Adams continues his role as Assistant Coach (Batting). He was appointed Men’s One Day Cup Head Coach for the 2025 competition and led the team to the final. Adams was previously the Second XI Head Coach before moving to Batting Coach in 2022.
The 45-year-old represented the Rose and Crown 462 times across all formats and was Club Captain from 2012-2015. He scored nearly 20,000 runs and made 27 centuries to go with six trophies, including Hampshire’s white ball double in 2012.
We’re delighted to announce our coaching team for next summer. Russell Domingo will serve as Head Coach, with Jimmy Adams and Shane Burger joining him as Assistant Coaches. Together, they form a strong and experienced unit that will continue to champion the cultural framework that has underpinned Hampshire cricket over the years.
We exist to win and to develop, and I’m confident this team will continue to drive that ethos as we move into an exciting future. It’s a fantastic place to be at this moment in time, and the season ahead promises great opportunities.
