Ground re-named The Ageas Bowl following agreement

Hampshire have revealed their Rose Bowl ground will be renamed The Ageas Bowl following a deal with the insurance company. The two parties have put a six-year agreement in place signalling a significant long-term investment for the club. The Ageas Bowl will host two one-day internationals this summer against the West Indies and South Africa. "Ageas have recognised the legacy we are building at the venue and wish to add to the excellent work done by the club and the Hampshire Cricket Board," said club chairman Rod Bransgrove. "They are as keen as we are to be involved in the community and to create a lasting legacy for people in Hampshire, utilising the power of sport, and cricket in particular, to engage with them and the wider region. "The name of our ground is important and so I am happy that we are partnering with a company based here in Eastleigh and together we can share an exciting future."
