Hampshire batter Tristan Stubbs impressed on his T20 Blast debut, firing 69 off 42 balls less than 24 hours after arriving in the country after “not much sleep”. <\/p>\n

The South African top scored at the Utilita Bowl on Tuesday night as the Hawks beat Essex by 30 runs<\/a> for their first win in this season’s competition. <\/p>\n

Stubbs admitted that despite the quick turnaround after arriving from his Indian Premier League commitments, his first taste of action for Hampshire was a positive experience. <\/p>\n

“I actually really enjoyed today so I’m glad I could play,” he told BBC Radio Solent<\/a> following the game.<\/p>\n

“I landed at eight o’clock last night, got to my accommodation just after 10, and I was here at seven thirty for medical testing, so I’ve not had much sleep,”<\/p>\n

“All my pre-match things that I normally do are no longer going to happen, so yeah, I’ll take it!”<\/p>\n

Stubbs signed for Hampshire in February,<\/a> having never previously played in the Blast. <\/p>\n

He did, however, play in The Hundred last summer and will feature again this year for Southern Brave. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hampshire batter Tristan Stubbs impressed on his T20 Blast debut, firing 69 off 42 balls less than 24…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-608018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
