Hampshire have signed Australian all-rounder Hilton Cartwright on a deal that will see him play for the Hawks in this year’s T20 Blast. <\/p>\n

The 33-year-old was at the county in 2025 to reinforce the white-ball squad following a number of international call-ups<\/a> and scored 213 runs.<\/p>\n

He played four times for Australia in 2017 across Tests and ODIs. <\/p>\n

“I’m delighted to be back with the Hawks for another season,” Cartwright said. “I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club last summer.<\/p>\n

“Although we missed out on the title, to reach Finals Day more times than any other county is a special feat, and hopefully we can go one step further this time around.”<\/p>\n

Cartwright has previously featured in the Blast for Middlesex in 2018 and Derbyshire in 2022.<\/p>\n

He plays for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League (BBL) and was part of the squad that made the knockout stage of this winter’s competition, scoring 93 runs.<\/p>\n

“Having Hilton available for the whole tournament is a huge plus for us,” said Giles White, director of cricket.<\/p>\n

“He showed last summer that he can clear the ropes in match-defining innings, and we’re looking forward to seeing him bring that same impact to the Utilita again this summer.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hampshire have signed Australian all-rounder Hilton Cartwright on a deal that will see him play for the Hawks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448147,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-448146","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
