It has been a quiet few months in the arrivals lounge at the Utilita Bowl.
But with Hampshire set to announce a replacement for Adi Birrell in the next seven days, they are also preparing to unveil a marquee signing for next season's Vitality T20.
Hampshire reached the final of the Blast back in September, losing to Somerset after blitzing Northamptonshire in the semi-finals..
Now, as they look to make an impact in the new look competition next summer, the Hawk understands that they are on the verge of securing the signature of Hilton Cartwright.
