South-African all-rounder will be available all year and in all formats
Hampshire Cricket have signed South-African all-rounder Ryan McLaren as their overseas player for the 2016 season.
The 32-year old, who will be available all year and in all formats, played an integral role during his four-match spell at the The Ageas Bowl last season as he helped Hampshire complete the ‘great escape’ to avoid relegation from LV= County Championship Division One.
I am delighted to have agreed to return to Hampshire for 2016. My first experience with the county at the end of the 2015 season was hugely enjoyable and I was delighted to play a part in helping the county retain First Division status. I look forward to returning in April and helping the county challenge across the board for silverware.
Ryan McLaren
Despite only joining Hants for four-day cricket last season, an average of 30 with the bat and 27 with the ball in 181 List A matches shows that McLaren is more than useful and experienced in one-day cricket. This is alongside 147 domestic T20 matches under his belt for a number of teams from across the world, including in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
McLaren also holds experience at international level with 54 one-day international caps for South-Africa, averaging an impressive 27 with the ball, including a career-best 4-19 against Pakistan in June 2013. The all-rounder boasts the best bowling figures ever for South-Africa in T20 cricket after taking 5-19 against the West Indies in May 2010.
Ryan came into the team at the back end of last season, impressed everyone and proved to be a great fit for us. He gives the team balance, is an excellent professional and performs in both red and white ball cricket. Having an overseas player around for the whole season is a big bonus and we look forward to meeting up with him in pre-season.
