Michael Carberry Leaves Hampshire To Join Leicestershire 

Hampshire Cricket has agreed for batsman Michael Carberry to join Leicestershire on a two year contract at the end of the 2017 season.

The 36-year-old joined Leicestershire on a loan deal for the remainder of the campaign at the end of August, and after featuring for Hampshire at NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day earlier this month, Carberry returned to Leicestershire where he is available for their remainder of the season, before beginning his two-year deal with the side.

The left-hander has been a tremendous servant for the club since joining from Surrey in 2006 and has been a prominent performer with the bat for more than a decade.

The top-order batsman amassed a total of more than 16,849 runs in 369 matches for Hampshire across all formats, with more than 10,000 of these coming in first-class cricket at an average of 42.64.

Carberry has also been a key component in Hampshire’s limited-overs success over the years, contributing 3,519 List A runs at an average of 38.67 and 3,066 T20 runs at an average of 31.28.

The top-order batsman’s time with the club has also seen him represent England in all three formats, including six Test matches, six ODIs and one T20I.
