Behind-Closed-Doors Sussex Pre-Season Friendly Moved To The Ageas Bowl

Hampshire's behind-closed-doors two-day friendly fixture against Sussex, orginally due to be hosted at The 1st Central County Ground on 1st and 2nd April, has now been moved to The Ageas Bowl.

The venue change has been made due to a recent leatherjacket infestation at Hove with the outfield still continuing to recover.

The fixture is one of two pre-season friendlies in preparation for the 2021 season with Hampshire also hosting Northamptonshire for a two-day fixture at The Ageas Bowl starting on Thursday 25th March.

Both matches will be held with no fans in attendance due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The two red-ball contests will see Hampshire continue their pre-season preparations ahead of the start of the campaign curtain-raiser, as James Vince’s side travel to Grace Road to take on Leicestershire in the opening round of Group Stage fixtures on Thursday 8th April.

Hampshire Cricket and The Ageas Bowl are continuing to work hard to welcome fans back to the venue safely this year.

2021 Hampshire Cricket Members will be the first to get access to home County Championship matches next summer. For more information about Hampshire Cricket Memberships and the exciting benefits on offer, please follow the link below.
