Hampshire Hawks name squad for Global Super League

Hampshire Hawks have named their squad to compete in the inaugural ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League in Guyana.

The group will be captained by Hampshire’s all-time leading wicket-taker Chris Wood, with James Vince unavailable due to being contracted to play in the Abu Dhabi T10.

John Turner will be on England Lions’ tour of South Africa during the competition, but fast bowler Sonny Baker is set to make his debut in a Hampshire shirt, whilst batter Ali Orr is set to return to first XI action after fracturing his arm in the opening Vitality Blast match on May 30.

Scott Currie is unavailable due to picking up a knee injury whilst on international duty with Scotland, but Benny Howell comes back having recovered from injury.

Two further players, outside of Hampshire’s contracted players, are due to be confirmed before the tournament.

The players confirmed are: Chris Wood, Toby Albert, Sonny Baker, Liam Dawson, James Fuller, Benny Howell, Fletcha Middleton, Felix Organ, Ali Orr, Tom Prest, Joe Weatherley and Brad Wheal.

The inaugural tournament will be played from November 26 to December 7 at the National Stadium, Providence.
