HAMPSHIRE chairman Rod Bransgrove is confident Sean Ervine will extend his career with the county – so he can play for England.
Ervine is yet to sign a two-year extension to his existing deal, which expires at the end of next season, and has revealed that he is considering playing for Zimbabwe again.

“I’ve never thought for a moment he would prefer to play for Zimbabwe again.
"I haven’t read too much into what he’s said and would expect players to look at all opportunities."
