Australia is bracing itself for a mini-invasion of Southern Premier League cricketers, three of whom from South Wilts are on the brink of touching down in Melbourne after a jet lag guaranteed day-long flight.
Ben Draper and Luke Evans are set to join the Victoria sub-district club Parkside, while pace bowler Ryan Murray will be looking to build up a head of steam in the outback.
Also on his way to Melbourne is Lymington all-rounder Ryan Scott, who is joining Norwood, near Ringwood, on the eastern extremities of the city.
Calmore Sports left-hander Ben Johns is spending the winter at the affluent seaside resort of Brighton, while Portsmouth left-hand opener Ben Duggan has left his Isle of Wight base to play Suburban Turf Competition cricket for WACA club Melville.
New Milton teen Raff Hussey flies to Adelaide next week to link up with the Darren Lehmann Academy, while Havant’s Harry Gadd is spending the winter in New Zealand.
