Hampshire, England - Former West Indies paceman Fidel Edwards has signed a new one-year contract at Hampshire.
The 33-year-old has played an integral role in Hampshire's battle for survival in the LV= County Championship this season, taking 45 wickets at an average of 20.88 in eight Division One matches.
Ten of those scalps came in the clash against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, where Hampshire secured the victory that saved them from the drop as Sussex went down instead.
Hampshire director of cricket Giles White said: “He’s been fantastic for us this year – he’s bowled with a lot of pace and know-how in varying conditions and we’re delighted to have him with us again.
“Fidel has always expressed his enjoyment at playing for Hampshire and he was thankful that we showed faith in him to start with – he adds a different dimension to our bowling attack and this will give the changing room a huge boost going into next season.”
