Australian cricketer Chris Lynn has officially joined Hampshire on the dot… He is set to play in the last four group games of the T20 Blast. The 35-year-old batsman joins the team as they aim for success in the competition, where he will bring his extensive experience and skill to the squad.
Lynn, who has featured in the T20 Blast for Northamptonshire Steelbacks, has an incredible record in the format. In 292 T20 games, he has nearly 8,500 runs to his name. Though the feat was not a personal one, this achievement reveals his ability as a trump card player. His cricketing journey began at a very young age, playing for Gosport Borough, a local club. That experience would set the stage for his professional career.
With 22 caps for Australia under her belt, Lynn is experienced in handling the big moments. His knowledge and experience in T20 cricket will be a huge asset to Hampshire. They’re hell-bent on making sure they have a place in the Finals Day.
In looking back on his move back to Hampshire, Lynn could barely contain his excitement about returning to the club.
“It’s great to return to Hampshire, this time as a pro,” – Chris Lynn
In his follow up to the first quote, he reinforced his conviction to bring value to the team, saying,
“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.” – Chris Lynn
Lynn’s signing comes at an important time for Hampshire. There’s little doubt that they intend to use his experience and talent to help them perform far better in this year’s tournament. Armed with a solid track record and gritty disposition, he intends to leave an imprint on the field during those showdown matches.
