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
Hampshire Cricket can announce that after four seasons at Utilita Bowl, seam bowler and right-hand batter Mary Taylor has left the club.
During her time at the Southern Vipers and Hampshire Women, Taylor rose up the ranks through the Vipers Academy in 2021 before quickly being introduced to first team action.
In her first full season for the Vipers, she took 16 wickets, scored 42 runs, and lifted three trophies across the year. She was rewarded with her first professional contract in 2023.
With Hampshire, Taylor picked up 12 wickets in the Vitality Blast last season averaging 28.08, as well as four wickets and a maiden professional half-century in the semi-final against Surrey en route to the Metro Bank One Day Cup Final at Utilita Bowl.
Everyone at Hampshire Cricket and Utilita Bowl thanks her for her efforts and wish her well in the future.
