Squad
Departures
Left-arm medium bowler James Tomlinson and right-arm medium bowler Andy Carter both retired at the end of the 2016 season, although Carter later joined Northamptonshire .[ 1] [ 2] Wicket-keeper Adam Wheater left the club to join Essex in September 2016 after being released with a year left on his contract.[ 3] [ 4] South African all-rounder Ryan McLaren left Hampshire to join Lancashire in October 2016.[ 5]
In March 2017, former England U19 captain Joe Weatherley signed a new contract with Hampshire. As part of this deal, he agreed to move on loan for the 2017 season to Kent , although he was recalled in August due to a spate of injuries.[ 6] Fast bowlers Gareth Andrew , Tino Best and Yasir Arafat (who had been on loan at Somerset in 2016) all were released after short term deals, along with David Wainwright . Gavin Griffiths who had been on loan at the club, joined Leicestershire , while Craig Young did not have his loan extended either. Overseas player Darren Sammy will not be returning in 2017. In late August, Michael Carberry was loaned to Leicestershire for first-class cricket.
Arrivals
In September 2017, Hampshire signed young all-rounder Asher Hart from Durham 's academy.[ 7] In October 2016, young all-rounder Fraser Hay was awarded a summer contract for 2017, having impressed in the academy.[ 8]
In January 2017, South Africans Kyle Abbott and Rilee Rossouw both quit international cricket and subsequently signed for Hampshire on Kolpak contracts.[ 9] George Bailey returned to the side on a two-year deal as overseas player, having previously played for the club as overseas in the 2013 season. Australian Ian Holland also joined the club during April, having played for the Second XI during the 2016 and early 2017 season. Youngsters Calvin Dickinson , Ben Duggan, Jake Goodwin and Josh McCoy all signed Hampshire scholarships with the side for the 2017 season after their performances for the Academy and Second XI, while Felix Organ , on an academy contract, represented the first team in September. Former Essex bowler Matt Salisbury joined the club on trial following some impressive performances in the Second XI. Wiltshire spinner Jake Lintott joined the team in August while Mason Crane was on international duty.

County Championship
Hampshire will play 14 County Championship Division One matches in 2017. The Championship has been restructured for 2017, with Division One having eight teams, leaving the remaining ten counties in Division Two instead of the previous nine-nine split. Teams in both divisions will play fewer matches than in 2016 (14 instead of 16), meaning that teams in Division One will play all of their rivals twice.[ 11]
Hampshire's opening fixture was away against Yorkshire at Headingley Cricket Ground , which they won by 4 wickets after successfully chasing 320.[ 12] They will then play seven home matches in total at the Rose Bowl. One fixture, a home game against Somerset , will be a day–night match, part of an experiment by the England and Wales Cricket Board ahead of the staging of the first UK day–night test match in August.[ 11] [ 13]
