Seals steps in for Australian quick Michael Neser, summoned back home by Cricket Australia at the start of March.

‘Michael’s absence is a blow, but Jaden Seals is an exciting replacement,’ remarked Hampshire cricket director Giles White. ‘His speed, technique, and match-winning instinct make him perfect. Linking up with our established West Indies players, he’s set to make an immediate impact.’

Seals boasts solid County Championship pedigree from his 10 games with Sussex, where he snared 39 wickets at 28.46 apiece. A highlight was his 5-29 demolition of Derbyshire in 2024, crucial in Sussex’s promotion push.

Internationally, Seals burst onto the scene in 2021 with scant first-class experience. He’s since starred for West Indies in 64 games across formats, captaining their pace battery. His debut five-for against Pakistan in Jamaica sealed Player of the Match status.

Part of the 2026 T20 World Cup squad, Seals witnessed West Indies falter in Super 8 against India.

As first-class action kicks off April 3, Hampshire eyes a strong start against Essex. Seals’ potent mix of bounce and aggression could redefine their attack.
