Hampshire Cricket Sign Ross Whiteley

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce the signing of Worcestershire batsman Ross Whiteley.

The big-hitting left-hander joins Hampshire on a three-year, white-ball contract after announcing he would be leaving Worcestershire after a nine-year association with the county earlier this month.

Whiteley - who will join Hampshire on 1st November 2021 and has previously had stints in both the Pakistan Super League and Bangladesh Premier League – has enjoyed white-ball success in recent seasons, winning the inaugural instalment of The Hundred with Southern Brave this summer after playing a crucial role in Worcestershire’s success in 2018’s Vitality Blast.

The 33-year-old averages 25.46 in T20s – with a strike rate of more than 141 – and 27.66 in 71 List A innings and became only the sixth man in world cricket to hit six sixes in an over when he hit Karl Carver for six consecutive maximums in a T20 Blast match in 2017.

Whiteley – who came up through the ranks at Derbyshire before moving to Worcestershire in 2013 – is also renowned for his ability in the field and featured for England Lions in 2015-16.

The best way to see Ross and the rest of the Hampshire side in action in 2022 is with a Hampshire Cricket Membership.

Memberships for 2022 were released earlier this month – with prices frozen – and are available at www.ageasbowl.com/membership with a Membership the only way to guarantee access to tickets to England’s two Vitality IT20s at The Ageas Bowl in 2022 (vs India on Wednesday 6th July & vs South Africa on Sunday 31st July) with Hampshire Cricket Members granted access to tickets before the culmination of the free-to-enter ticket ballot.
