Hampshire End Week of Hell on a New Low

Hampshire head to Hove to take on Sussex on Friday in a clash that could go a long way to deciding their Division One fate. But with key T20 Blast clashes coming up, the Hawk understands that a major player could be rested.

Michael Porter recently celebrated his 150th match at Bashley skipper - but as one of only two teams that have never been relegated from the Southern Premier Cricket League, he knows his side face a difficult few months to avoid the drop.

Ali Orr speaks to the Hawk after his second innings effort helped Hampshire to a draw against Surrey at the Oval. But Hampshire will need plenty more runs from him if they're going to escape the Division One drop zone.

Hampshire continue to build for the future by offering one of their most highly rated young players a deal that will keep him at the Utilita until at least 2028.

One of Hampshire's standout players from 2026 looks set to sign a new two-year deal that will keep him at the Utilita Bowl until October 2028.

It was a case of so near, yet so far in the Metro Bank One Day Cup - but Hampshire's hitters signed off with a record-breaking three days of white ball destruction.
