Chris Wood will be joining us on Saturday, 12 October
Chris Wood played for Hampshire’s Academy side from 2006, for the 2nd XI from 2007 and for England under-19s from 2008. He made his first team debut in 2010 and over the next three seasons played in 27 first-class matches but largely as a result of injury he has played very little first-class cricket since, none since 2018. He did however play in four matches towards the end of the 2014 season including the match at Cardiff when Hampshire clinched the Division Two title and promotion, where he had match figures of 6-74. He remains an important ‘white ball’ bowler, during a period when Hampshire have enjoyed some success and he is the only Hampshire bowler to have taken 100+ wickets in all three formats.
Chris played in the Hampshire side that won the T20 in 2010 and 2022 and he was a member of the ‘double’ winners of 2012. He was a member of the Hampshire sides that won the Royal London Cup in 2018, and lost in the Final one year later. He is a useful lower-order batter and scored a first-class century at Leicester in 2012 plus six half-centuries. In 2021 and 2022 he played for London Spirit in the Hundred. Squad number 25; Hampshire Cap 2018.
