Meanwhile, Hampshire are currently 10th and bottom of the Division One table in the 2026 Rothesay County Championship, with their hopes of avoiding relegation hanging by a thread. Ben Brown’s side have collected 86 points from 10 matches, leaving them 16 points behind ninth-placed Leicestershire and 19 points adrift of Surrey in eighth, the position that currently represents the safety line.
We encourage everyone to unite behind the team as we enter a crucial stage of the campaign,” the club said. “Having reflected and listened to feedback from our staff and supporters, Hampshire Cricket can confirm that Scott Kuggeleijn will not represent the Club, We value the passion of our fanbase and thank everyone who took the time to share their view. Our focus now turns to supporting the team through the final four County Championship fixtures of the season. Hampshire’s position comes after their rain-affected draw against Glamorgan, with only four County Championship fixtures remaining in their campaign. They now face Warwickshire at the Utilita Bowl in their next red-ball fixture as they begin a crucial final push to preserve their Division One status.
