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.
Giles White, Director of Cricket
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.
Fans can also join Hampshire on their Caribbean travels early next year, courtesy of Smile Group Travel.
