With Hampshire Royals’ first Friends Life t20 game of the season less than a week away, they have been showing off their skills in front of the camera. 

Batsman James Vince can be seen picking out three bins on the boundary, while the bowling  accuracy of Chris Wood, Liam Dawson and Sean Ervine is highlighted as they take turns to knock a water bottle from the top of  each nominated stump.

“This is Twenty20 cricket.... Royals style!”

Cricketers of all ages at local cricket clubs can “show their skills” at The Ageas Bowl during two Royals t20 matches.

The Royals begin the defence of their Friends Life t20 title against Surrey at The Ageas Bowl on June 26. Tickets are available at ageasbowl.com over the phone on 0844 847 1863 (available 24 hours / day) or at the ground.
