International Schedule Complicating Hampshire's Overseas Chase - but Key Player Could Return for Yorkshire Clash

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.

As Hampshire build for 2027, a key player looks set to head to Middlesex.

Hampshire's star man in the T20 Blast has been handed a chance in the Hundred after England's Jacob Bethell was ruled out with a knee injury. He'll join up with the Birmingham Phoenix on Thursday afternoon.

A magnificent century from Tom Prest ensured Hampshire started their Metro Bank One Day campaign in fine style by the seaside in North Yorkshire.
