Joseph Eckland And Daisy Mullan Released
Keeper-batter Joseph Eckland and all-rounder Daisy Mullan will leave Hampshire Cricket on the expiration of their contracts
Hampshire batsman James Vince has been named in the full England squad for the first time after being announced in the 11-man squad to face Ireland on Friday 8 May.
The Hampshire T20 captain impressed the England selectors after a hugely impressive winter in South Africa as one-day captain of the England Lions.
Nottinghamshire batsman James Taylor will lead a squad that includes five players yet to be capped for England in any format.
Vince’s call-up to the match will not affect his availability for Hampshire’s next LV= County Championship match against Yorkshire at Headingley, starting on Sunday 10 May.
We are starting to identify players we believe can make a real impact in limited overs cricket in the next four years as we build towards the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2019 and these players have a huge opportunity to stake a claim for further opportunities this summer.
James Whitaker, National Selector
Full England squad: James Taylor (capt), Zafar Ansari, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, Tim Bresnan, Steven Finn, Lewis Gregory, Alex Hales, Jason Roy, James Vince, David Willey.
