Joseph Eckland And Daisy Mullan Released
Keeper-batter Joseph Eckland and all-rounder Daisy Mullan will leave Hampshire Cricket on the expiration of their contracts
Ajinkya Rahane debuted for Hampshire on the Isle of Wight last summer as the county travelled to their outground Newclose, to face Nottinghamshire in the County Championship.
After scoring only ten in his first innings, the pressure was on the Indian star to deliver as Hampshire had only built up a first innings lead of 74 when he arrived at the crease.
Oli Soames fell when the lead was extended to just 80 but a partnership of over 250 between that man Rahane (119) and Sam Northeast (133) set the platform for Hampshire to go on and win the game.
Rahane's knock from 197 deliveries included 14 fours as Hampshire ran out victorious by 244 runs, a majestic innings from one of the world's best.
