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.

NatWest CricketForce

NatWest CricketForce

NatWest CricketForce is a nationwide initiative aimed at cricket clubs. The programme is designed to bring clubs and local community closer together, and ensure they’re ready for the new season.

NatWest CricketForce is held over an allocated weekend prior to the start of the season (2020 dates: 27th to 29th March). However, "following the Government’s latest Coronavirus COVID19 advice around social distancing, it is with sadness and reluctance that we recommend that all forms of recreational cricket are for now suspended. This extends to training, pre-season friendlies and any associated cricket activity."
