Trinidad and Tobago stop Seales move to Hampshire
Jayden Seales had been set to replace Michael Neser at Hampshire
- Published
Pace bowler Jayden Seales will no longer be joining Hampshire this summer after the move was stopped by the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board.
The 24-year-old right-armer was set to arrive at the Utilita Bowl as a replacement for Michael Neser, who was pulled out from joining by Cricket Australia.
Seales was initially scheduled to play in the first six County Championship games of Hampshire's season, but BBC Radio Solent now report that his move is off.
He played 10 matches for Sussex in 2024 and 2025 and has played in 26 Test matches and 38 games in white-ball cricket for West Indies.
Hampshire are now well into their pre-season preparations with the County Championship season beginning in less than two weeks.
Hampshire hope to announce a replacement for Seales before the start of the red-ball season.
They will begin the season against Essex at the Utilita Bowl on 3 April before facing Yorkshire at Headingley.
CORRECTION: This story initially said that Seales' move to Hampshire was off because the West Indies cricket board refused to provide him with a No Objection Certificate. However, the BBC has since learned it was a decision taken by the local board.
