Report & Reaction: Southern Vipers v Central Sparks, RHFT
Read the match report & hear reaction from Southern Vipers' Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy match against Central Sparks at Wormsley
Hampshire's James Vince has signed for Australian Big Bash franchise, Sydney Thunder, for the remainder of the 2016/17 T20 competition.
Vince joins the BBL reigning champions as a replacement for Eoin Morgan who departs to captain England's limited-overs series' against India.
The right-hander will arrive in Sydney this week and will be available for selection following Morgan's final Thunder appearance against Melbourne Stars on Thursday (5th January).
This is a great opportunity for James to play in one of the leading tournaments in the world and it'll be great for him to show what he can do on the big stage.
Giles White, Hampshire Director of Cricket
I’ve watched the tournament back home over the past two or three years - the tournament has grown each year and it’s right up there as one of the best competitions in the world. I spoke with Eoin about the possibility of playing out here when we were at the World T20 earlier last year and luckily I’ve gotten the opportunity.
James Vince
The Thunder, who claimed last year's crown following a three-wicket win over Melbourne Stars in the competition final, are led by Australian all-rounder Shane Watson.
Vince joins fellow Hampshire batsman George Bailey (Hobart Hurricanes) as the club's representatives in this year's tournament.
