Hampshire Cricket Award Scholarships To Promising Youngsters

Hampshire Cricket are pleased to announce that promising youngsters Tom Scriven and Felix Organ have been awarded scholarships.

The 18-year-old duo have featured prominently for Hampshire Academy over the previous two seasons, with Scriven totalling 633 runs at an average of 45.21 and Organ notching 586 runs at an average of 39.07 in the 2017 campaign. Organ also made his first Hampshire First XI appearance this year, featuring in the  Specsavers County Championship draw against Middlesex at Uxbridge.

Earlier this month it was announced that both players had been included in an 18-man England Young Lions squad set to undertake a winter programme – which includes a Tri-Series in South Africa across the festive period – with a view to both batsman then being in contention to be selected for the U19 World Cup which takes place in New Zealand in January.

The pair will then return back to the UK in February to begin their final preparations for the 2018 season, with both players set to start the season as part of the Hampshire Second XI.

England Young Lions winter dates:

November 23 – December 10: Tri-Series against South Africa and Namibia in Potchefstroom.

January 15 – February 3: ICC Under-19s World Cup (New Zealand)
