Neser And Lehmann To Join Hampshire For Next Year’s County Championship
Neser, 35, took 13 wickets for Hampshire in 2024 across eight matches in the county championship and T20 blast. “In Michael Neser and Jake Lehmann, we have two players who have the ability to make a significant impact. Michael brings valuable runs alongside his quality with the ball - he will partner Kyle Abbott as one of our overseas players,” said Giles White, Director of Cricket at Hampshire, in a statement.
Meanwhile, Lehmann, the son of former Australia player and current Northamptonshire head coach Darren Lehmann, has signed a two‑year all‑format deal with the club. He has scored 5,684 runs in 97 first-class cricket games for South Australia with 16 centuries against his name.
