Hampshire Women's fixtures have been announced for 2022, with Hampshire facing Surrey, Sussex and Kent in Group 6 of the Women's T20 County competition next year.
Hampshire will contest three double-headers against each of the aforementioned sides across April and May - facing Kent in two T20s on Monday 18th April before travelling to local-rivals Sussex for two further T20s on Sunday 24th April. The group stage fixtures are then rounded out with another double-header away against Surrey.
A Finals Day - which Hampshire will host - is set for Sunday 8th May which will see three fixtures contested before a Group 6 winner is crowned.
Hampshire Women's squad - with winter training already underway for a number of players - will be made up of Hampshire's County Age Group players, Southern Vipers Academy & Elite players as well as those featuring in The Hundred and for England.
The confirmation of fixtures is always a significant moment. We're looking forward to next year's T20 competition and playing host to Finals Day is something we're particularly excited about. A number of the squad are already in training ahead of 2022's campaign and we aim to hit the ground running come April.
