Hampshire chose from 13 for Cheltenham & Gloucester match

Hampshire meet Sussex in the Third Round of the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday 7th May, 10:45 start. Tickets are available on the day.

The major One-Day tournament of the year has a very early start, following the demise of the Benson & Hedges Cup, and the prospect of the Twenty20 Tournament in mid-summer.

Hampshire select from the same eleven that played the two ECB National League matches at the weekend, and Alan Mullally and John Francis are added to the squad. Ed Giddins injured on his debut for Hampshire at Worcester last month, is unlikely to be fit untill the end of May said a club spokesman. Although not fractured his ribs are badly bruised.

Thirteen: Derek Kenway, John Crawley, Robin Smith, Simon Katich, James Hamblin, Nic Pothas, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Will Kendall, Wasim Akram, Shaun Udal, Chris Tremlett, Alan Mullally and John Francis.
