Academy Duo Eve O'Neill And Shristi Patil Sign First Pro Contracts
Spin bowler Eve O’Neill and batter Shristi Patil have signed one-year professional contracts
James Vince will take on Liam Dawson tomorrow when Islamabad United take on Quetta Gladiators in Lahore on Saturday 12th February.
The Hampshire captain scored 49* in his previous match and took an outstanding catch on the boundary rope to dismiss Kamran Ghulam.
Dawson, meanwhile, is set to debut for Islamabad in place of Paul Stirling who has been called up for Ireland’s T20 World Cup Qualifiers and quadrangular series in Oman.
Both players were crucial to Hampshire’s run to Finals Day in 2021.
Vince was Hampshire’s second leading run scorer with 373 runs at an average of 31, whilst Dawson took 10 wickets at 24.90 and was the Hawks’ second most economical bowler.
Islamabad United v Quetta Gladiators gets underway at 2:30pm UK time.
