Dawson Included In England Squads For Sri Lanka Tour And Provisional T20 World Cup
Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson has been selected for England's white-ball tour of Sri Lanka and the provisional squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
James Vince has been voted Player of the Month for June by Hampshire fans, as part of a new vote for this season presented in partnership with Domino’s.
The skipper secured 46.9% of the vote, beating second-placed James Fuller by more than twice the number of votes.

Vince played in all but one of Hampshire’s eleven fixtures across June – missing the trip to Surrey in the Vitality Blast due to illness.
He returned to the squad for the clash with ‘el clasicoast’ rivals Sussex Sharks where he scored 65, and featured in a new club-record T20 opening partnership with Ben McDermott of 124, as Hampshire recorded their first Vitality Blast win of the season.
The new record, however, was broken just days later as Vince (54*) and McDermott put on a 132 stand in the convincing victory over Middlesex at Radlett.
The Hawks then recorded their third and fourth successive wins in the Vitality Blast over Essex Eagles and Glamorgan, with Vince making back-to-back totals of 44.

A dramatic win over Yorkshire in the County Championship followed for the Hampshire captain and his side, before his form went to another level.
Back in white-ball action, Vince recorded a blistering century from 54 balls to lead his side to a comfortable victory over Kent Spitfires.
His best was yet to come though and, after scoring 30 in the narrow defeat to Surrey, he put together a destructive 129* off just 62 balls – hitting a stunning ten maximums – to lead the Hawks to victory over Somerset at Taunton.
They finished the month with a Vitality Blast win over Gloucestershire, before suffering a defeat at the hands of Essex in the County Championship.

For one glorious summer, Chris Tremlett stood tallest when it mattered most, and the Ashes came home.
