Chris Lynn joins Hampshire Hawks for second half of Vitality Blast

New Delhi : Australian batter Chris Lynn will join Hampshire Hawks for the remaining six matches of the Vitality Blast group stage. The 35-year-old joined the Hawks after South African duo Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Dewald Brevis were awarded with international call-ups to play in a two-test series against Zimbabwe from 28 June.

“It’s great to return to Hampshire, this time as a pro; I had a brilliant time playing club cricket in the county a while ago now. The Hawks are a hugely successful side and hopefully I can play a big part in the second half of the Blast to take the team to Finals Day,” Lynn said in a statement issued by the franchise.

Hampshire Hawks’ men return to Vitality Blast action on July 5 against Sussex Sharks at the 1st Central County Ground, Hove. Lynn will then feature at Utilita Bowl the next day as the Hawks host Somerset in a double header. IANS
