Indian all-rounder Ashutosh Sharma has joined last year’s losing finalists Hampshire for this season’s One-Day Cup.<\/p>\n

Sharma, 27, has scored 564 runs in three seasons in the IPL for Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, averaging 29.68 at a strike rate of 169.<\/p>\n

He holds the record for the fastest T20 half-century by an Indian player – an 11-ball 50 for Railways against Arunachal Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.<\/p>\n

“He is a player of great potential and has done well for Delhi Capitals in the IPL recently so knows what it’s like to perform to a high standard,” Hampshire director of cricket, Giles White, told the club website, external<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to welcoming him into the group and seeing what he can do in a Hampshire shirt as we look to go one step further than last year in the competition.”<\/p>\n

Sharma, who bowls right-arm medium pace, made his IPL debut as an impact substitute for the Kings before being signed by the Capitals for about \u00a3290,000 ahead of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Hampshire have also added pace bowling pair Harry Petrie and Oli Williams to their squad for the One-Day Cup.<\/p>\n

Petrie, 23, was released at the end of the 2023 season but has signed a short-term deal following impressive performances for the Second XI this summer. He is Hampshire’s leading wicket-taker in the Second XI T20 competition.<\/p>\n

Williams, 19, is in his second year in the club’s academy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indian all-rounder Ashutosh Sharma has joined last year’s losing finalists Hampshire for this season’s One-Day Cup.
