Jimmy Adams Appointed Hampshire Men’s One Day Cup Head Coach
Jimmy Adams Appointed Hampshire Men’s One Day Cup Head Coach
Former Hampshire opener Jimmy Adams will lead the club in the men’s Metro Bank One Day Cup
Former Hampshire opening batter Jimmy Adams has been appointed as Head Coach for the men’s One Day Cup.
Adams will take over from Adi Birrell who will take charge of Southern Brave men’s team in The Hundred.
The club stalwart previously coached the men’s Second XI before making the move to batting coach in 2022.
It’s an honour to lead my boyhood club as head coach in the Metro Bank One Day Cup. Having worked with the group for a number of years now and seeing the talent we have coming through the pathway and Academy, I’m hoping we can put in some strong performances and reach the final at Trent Bridge for the second time in three years.
Jimmy Adams, Hampshire Men's One Day Cup Head Coach
The 44-year-old featured 462 times for Hampshire across all three formats and scored 19,723 runs with 108 fifties and 27 centuries having made his debut in 2002.
Adams won six trophies with the club, including Hampshire’s white ball double in 2012.
He made fifties in the finals of the 2009 Friends Provident Trophy against Sussex and the 2012 CB40 against Warwickshire at Lord’s to help Hampshire lift both titles.
Jimmy’s passion for the game, deep understanding of our Club culture, and rapport with players make him the perfect fit to lead our One Day Cup side. We are excited to see how he and Nick can help shape the development of our younger players during the tournament.
Giles White, Director of Cricket
