"Joining the Hawks is a dream," Brevis commented. "We're targeting:

  1. T20 Blast Finals Day qualification
  2. County Championship title push
  3. Record-breaking attendances at Utilita Bowl"

The young batter also emphasized adapting to English conditions: "I've been studying county bowling attacks all winter. The Dukes ball presents new challenges I'm excited to master."

2025 Season Prospects

With this signing, Hampshire:

  • Strengthens their middle-order power-hitting
  • Gains versatile option across formats
  • Enhances commercial appeal in global markets

Key Dates:

  • T20 Blast opener: June 4 vs Surrey
  • First potential County appearance: April 25 vs Nottinghamshire
