The new Basingstoke Hawks academy was opened by former Hampshire and England spinner Shaun Udal.

The aim is to increase the diversity of young people playing the sport at all levels in Hampshire.

Head teacher at Brighton Hill School Chris Edwards says " We have brand new state of the art nets at the school.....and we're trying to get that elite group through from state school to elite cricket."

Hampshire's first inner city academy is based at Cantell School in Southampton. The club are looking to establish a third in the Portsmouth area.
