Match Preview: Warwickshire vs Hampshire - Specsavers County Championship

Hampshire will look to finish the 2017 Specsavers County Championship season on a high when they visit already relegated Warwickshire in the final fixture of the season at Edgbaston.

Hampshire Squad:

Hampshire have announced an unchanged 13-man squad for the game, with Brad Wheal and Mason Crane named alongside the final XI that featured in last week's fixture against Essex.

The Opposition:

Warwickshire have struggled this season, claiming just one victory all season whilst suffering nine defeats, with the hosts relegated to Division Two next season.

Despite their difficulties with securing wins this campaign, captain Jonathan Trott – who is the fourth highest run-scorer in Division One with 947 runs – will be hoping his side can conclude the season on a positive note.

• Sean Ervine and Jimmy Adams recorded the highest fourth-wicket partnership in Hampshire’s history when they put on 367 runs in the reverse fixture this season.
