Hampshire Confirm 2018 Super50 Participation

Hampshire will participate in the 44th edition of the West Indies Regional Super50 competition early next year

Hampshire Cricket are pleased to confirm the Club’s participation in the 2018 West Indies Regional Super50 competition, a domestic limited-overs tournament to be held this February.

The 44th edition of the 50-over tournament, which sees fixtures played in Barbados (Group A) and Antigua (Group B), will see Hampshire return to Barbados for an eighth consecutive pre-season in 2018.

In partnership with long term travel partner, Smile Group Travel, the Club’s first-team players and coaching staff will head to the island as part of Group A, with the tournament due to get underway in late January.

Hampshire will also be joined in the West Indies by Kent who will participate in the Super50 for a second successive year, although the Spitfires will feature in Antigua as part of Group B.

Hampshire will take part in the following group fixtures:

 

Full squad: Asher Hart, Brad Taylor, Brad Wheal. Calvin Dickinson, Chris Sole, Chris Wood, Felix Organ, Fidel Edwards, Gareth Berg, Jimmy Adams (c), Joe Weatherley, Lewis McManus, Sean Ervine, Tom Alsop,

We’re delighted to be involved in the upcoming Super50 competition - it’s a slightly different look to our pre-season but one that we are very happy with and we’re looking forward to be heading back to Barbados once again.

We’re got a strong history with West Indies Cricket and Barbados itself and what excites me about this particular trip is, the experience our young players have gained at similar tournaments previously has allowed them to show what they’re able to do at that level, and I think they’ve got an awful lot out of it previously.

I’d see this as an opportunity for a lot of the younger players to put their hand up and say they’re ready to play. It’ll also be a great period of cricket in February where otherwise we’d be indoors in England so it’s a real positive and certainly a useful development tool for some of our younger players.
