Vince Set For Auckland Aces Stint

Hampshire captain James Vince has signed to play for New Zealand domestic side, Auckland Aces this winter.

Vince will feature for the Aces throughout January and part of February in their Burger King Super Smash competition as part of his off-season development, before returning for Hampshire's pre-season preparations in March.

The 27-year-old joins 2018 T20 teammate Colin Munro as part of a squad which also features New Zealand internationals, Martin Guptill and Mitchell McClenaghan.

Vince last spent time in New Zealand as part of England's Test tour against the Kiwi's last winter, striking 18 and 76 in the second Test of the series.

The right-hander, who finished with 1,764 runs across all formats this season, led Hampshire to their first trophy in six years as his side claimed the 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup.

The best way to catch James and the rest of the Hampshire squad in action all season long next season is with a 2019 Hampshire Cricket Membership.
