Sam Hain: Warwickshire and England batter signs new deal

“I’ve spent close to half my life as a Bear,” Hain said., external

“I’ve loved every minute of my time here, it’s a special place and I’m lucky to call it home.

“It’s been one hell of a journey and I’m looking forward to seeing what the next four seasons have in store and how far we can go as a team.”

Hong-Kong-born, and Australia-raised, Hain played three times for England Lions before making his senior international debut against Ireland in an ODI in Nottingham in September 2023.

In 122 first-class matches for Warwickshire, he has scored 6,827 runs, including 18 centuries, and was part of the side that won the County Championship in 2021.

New Bears first-team coach Ian Westwood said he was “delighted” Hain had agreed new terms and “deserved it”.

“He’s a great guy to have around in the dressing room, you can tell he feels relaxed and at home at Edgbaston,” Westwood, who replaced Mark Robinson at the helm last month, said.

“He’s very motivated to win more silverware with Warwickshire and help the next generation of batters come through.”
