Match Preview: Hampshire Hawks v Somerset, Vitality Blast

Hampshire Hawks will be looking to claim back-to-back Vitality Blast wins for the first time this summer when they host Somerset at The Ageas Bowl tomorrow evening.

An important home victory against Gloucestershire last time out ended a tough run of form for the home side and they’ll be hoping to build on that effort when they face Tom Abell’s men in front of the Hawks supporters once again.

Hampshire Squad:

A 12-man squad has been announced for tomorrow’s contest at The Ageas Bowl.

James Vince is unavailable for selection after his call-up to England’s ODI squad for their series against Pakistan, whilst Liam Dawson also remains unavailable with the national side. Chris Wood will captain the side in Vince’s place.

18-year-old batsman Tom Prest struck his first half-century for the Club against Gloucestershire and will be an important part of the top-order batting line-up. Fellow Hampshire youth prospect Toby Albert is also included in the squad and would make his professional debut if selected.
