DIMI Mascarenhas will now turn his attention to reaching the 300 one-day wicket milestone for Hampshire after completing a career triple century.

The 35-year-old former England international took the 300th List A wicket of his career during Hampshire’s YB40 victory over Derbyshire at The Ageas Bowl on Tuesday night.

Of those, all but 22 have come while playing for the Royals.

Mascarenhas has 13 List A wickets while playing for England, plus a further nine while turning out for New Zealand club Otago in the 2008/09 Kiwi domestic one-day tournament.

Mascarenhas made his List A debut for the county back in September 1996 in an AXA Equity & Law League encounter against Middlesex in Portsmouth.

Among his team-mates that day were current Hampshire team boss Giles White and Ian Botham’s son, Liam.

Mike Gatting and Mark Ramprakash were members of the Middlesex side, as was Owais Shah – the only other player on the pitch that day, apart from Mascarenhas, still playing county cricket.

Mascarenhas, who is also the leading English-qualified t20 wicket-taker of all time with 135 victims, is still some way short of becoming Hampshire’s leading List A wicket-taker.

That honour is currently held by Cardigan Connor, left, who between 1984 and 1998 took 411 wickets - seven more than Shaun Udal.

In third place is Trevor Jesty, with 334 victims.

Overall, Udal – who played for Hampshire between 1989 and 2007 – has 548 List A wickets, the others coming in a three-year stay with Middlesex between 2008-2010.

And Jesty finished his distinguished county career – which had started at Hampshire in the year England won the football World Cup – with three years at Surrey (1985-1987 inclusive).
