Mason Crane - I Think me Leaving was Best for Everyone

It's now three years since academy graduate and England international Mason Crane left Hampshire, during which time he has become one of the country's most reliable spin bowling all-rounders.

Solace was in short supply as Glamorgan dismantled Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl earlier this season.

But if there was a chink of light it's that Hampshire's batters were, for the most part, undone by one of their own.

Mason Crane signed a three-year deal with the club in July 2024, after previously joining the Welsh side on a season-long loan.

It's a move that has led to him establishing himself as probably the leading leg-spinner in domestic cricket and, throughout a memorable 2026 season, also turn himself into one of Glamorgan's most dependable sources of lower order runs too.
