I thoroughly enjoyed my short-term contract with them last year and got a real taste for the history and success of the club being involved in both white ball finals last season. The environment under Nick Gubbins and Jimmy Adams in the One Day Cup was amazing to be a part of and I look forward to contributing more for Hampshire over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>  Andrew Neal<\/p>\n<p>Neal made his debut for Hampshire against Glamorgan at Neath in the Metro Bank One Day Cup and claimed 1-45 in 8.5 overs as Hampshire won by 72 runs.<\/p>\n<p>He impressed for the Second XI and took 26 wickets in 17 matches as Hampshire qualified for the Second XI T20 Finals Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DVP_0610_28Aug2025 (1).jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For Hertfordshire in National Counties cricket, Neal took 64 wickets across all formats and scored 398 runs in 13 50-over matches before he joined Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>Neal&#8217;s development was also supported by Challengers Cricket, where he was part of their winter squad and showcased his all-round capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew was an exceptional performer for us last season. To come in on a short-term contract and to end the One Day Cup as our leading wicket taker is outstanding and we&#8217;re delighted to keep him with the club for a further two years.<\/p>\n<p>He fitted in seamlessly and took to professional cricket like a duck to water.
