Spin bowler Eve O’Neill and batter Shristi Patil have signed one-year professional contracts
Ahead of this week's Vitality Blast season opener and marking the return of Hampshire Hawks from this summer's competition, we caught up with James Vince and Liam Dawson as they reminisce about their memories of representing the Hawks in seasons gone by and the return of the Hawks for this summer's Vitality Blast.
It's now less than a month until the Vitality Blast lands at The Ageas Bowl with the Hawks playing seven big T20 matches across June and July.
Buoyed by Hampshire’s ‘Ticket Refund Promise’ groups of friends, families and colleagues have been booking a date for their summer socials at The Ageas Bowl.
All Hawks home matches will take place after Monday 21st June as part of a bumper schedule of T20 action, with crowds returning to The Ageas Bowl as Hampshire aim to reach a ninth Vitality Blast Finals Day.

Tickets for Hampshire Hawks’ T20 double-header on Friday 16th July – which will see James Vince’s side face Essex Eagles and local rivals Sussex Sharks in ‘el clasicoast’ on the same day – have been in particularly high demand, with the double-header the fastest-selling T20 fixture on record at The Ageas Bowl.
Fans can still secure their Vitality Blast tickets via the link below. A range of hospitality packages are also available for this summer’s Vitality Blast fixtures – supporters and event-goers can book their package here.
