A 13-player Hampshire squad has been selected to play Surrey at Utilita Bowl in the Vitality County Championship
Hampshire v Surrey Vitality County Championship (Division One) Friday 24th May – Monday 27th May 2024 (11am Start) Utilita Bowl
Hampshire take on Division One leaders and current champions Surrey at Utilita Bowl in the Vitality County Championship this week.
Surrey were triumphant in the previous meeting between the two sides at The Kia Oval earlier in the season and have won their last four matches in a row.
Meanwhile, the hosts picked up their first win over Nottinghamshire last week and have risen to sixth in the table.
James Vince's side also won the last time Surrey made the trip down south on the final day of last season.
Hampshire Squad
Hampshire have named a 13-player squad for the contest with Surrey.
During the win over Nottinghamshire, four Hampshire batters made half-centuries - including Keith Barker on his first game back from injury. Meanwhile, Mohammad Abbas and Kyle Abbott impressed with the ball taking five and six wickets in the match respectively.
Michael Neser remains in the squad and Nick Gubbins is expected to make a return.
Tom Prest picked up a fractured shoulder at Trent Bridge and will be out for around six weeks, while Ian Holland has gone on loan to Leicestershire until the end of the season.

They are on the hunt for a third consecutive red-ball title and, after beginning the season with two draws, have gone on to rack up four wins on the bounce. Their last two matches saw them comfortably beat Warwickshire by nine wickets, before recording a 281-run victory against Worcestershire.
Dan Worrall currently sits third in the ranking for wickets taken in Division One with 26 at an average of just 13.57 and comes off the back of a ten-wicket haul. Alongside him in the bowling attack are the likes of Gus Atkinson, Jordan Clark and an overseas duo of Kemar Roach and Sean Abbott. Captain Rory Burns leads his side with the bat, while there are a host of other talented batters including Dom Sibley, Dan Lawrence, Jamie Smith and Ollie Pope.
