The Ageas Bowl is the iconic home of Hampshire Cricket. The venue played host to a huge summer of cricketing action in 2019, including an ODI run-fest between England and Pakistan, followed by seven ICC Cricket World Cup matches - two warm up matches and five group stage fixtures - before record-breaking crowds arrived for the Vitality Blast.

2020 welcomes Australia for a massive Royal London ODI in July - exactly one year on since England lifted the ICC Cricket World Cup - before Pakistan return to the Ageas Bowl for an IT20 in September.

The venue will also host the exciting new competition The Hundred, alongside Hampshire’s domestic season, including the ever-popular Vitality Blast, across May, June & July.

There really is something for everyone.
