Hampshire Hawks sign Ben McDermott for T20 Blast

Hampshire Hawks have announced the signing of Australian Wicket-keeper-batsman Ben McDermott for their T20 Blast campaign in 2022.

The 27-year-old, who is regarded as one of the stand-outs in the Big Bash League, is going to deliver his big-hitting style in England for county outfit Hampshire.

Hobart Hurricanes star McDermott was the top run-scorer in the BBL last season, scoring 577 runs at an average of 48.08 and became the first player to hit back-to-back tons in the BBL.
