Young Hampshire fast bowler Eddie Jack has signed a new deal at the county that will see him stay through to the end of the 2028 season.
The 20-year-old, who made his Hampshire debut in 2023, took 26 wickets in 16 matches last season for the Rose and Crown.
Jack is currently on tour with England Lions in Australia where they have four matches from 13 November to 8 December.
“I’m delighted to be offered the chance to continue playing for my boyhood club for the next three years,” Jack said., external
“All the coaching staff and my fellow teammates have been instrumental in accelerating and enriching my development as a player.
“I look forward to the continuation of that journey as I strive to advance my own game, and we continue to push for trophies across all three formats.”
The pace bowler has taken 41 wickets for the Young Lions with best figures of 5-57 coming against Bangladesh in 2023.
He has since gone on to represent England Lions twice against India A and was also recently awarded an ECB development contract for the first time.
Giles White, director of cricket, said: “Eddie is an exciting young talent, and we’re thrilled he’s staying at the club for another three years.
“The fact he’s with the England Lions at the moment is testament to the hard work he’s put in over the last few years, progressing through our academy and pushing for places in the first XI.
“He’s an exciting young player with an excellent attitude and a real hunger to develop his game, and we’re looking forward to seeing how he continues to grow during his time here at the Utilita Bowl.”
