Keith Barker Puts Pen-To-Paper On Contract Extension

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce that Keith Barker has signed a new contract extension.

The experienced left-arm seamer has put pen-to-paper on an extended deal, committing his future to the club.

Barker enjoyed an excellent first season with Hampshire in 2019 after joining from Warwickshire the previous winter, claiming 38 wickets at an average of just 26.34 with the ball in last summer’s County Championship.

The seamer played a pivotal role as part of a red-ball attack alongside Kyle Abbott and Fidel Edwards and the trio accounted for 156 wickets between them in the four-day competition as James Vince’s side achieved their highest red-ball finish for 11 years.

Barker also made valuable lower-order contributions with the bat last season, tallying 401 runs at an average of 26.73 across 14 matches.

The best way to catch Keith and the rest of the Hampshire squad in action all season long is with a 2020 Hampshire Cricket Membership.
