Hampshire's new South African signings were at The Ageas Bowl for the county's pre-season photo call today.

Kolpak duo Kyle Abbott and Rilee Rossouw were introduced to the press for the first time since ending their South Africa careers to play for the county.

Another new signing, all-rounder Asher Hart, was also present. 

Hampshire's new County Championship captain, George Bailey, was a notable absentees as were Mason Crane and Fidel Edwards.

Bailey will miss the first four matches because of his forthcoming wedding, Crane is still in the UAE where he was playing for the MCC against county champions Middlesex yesterday, and Edwards flies in from Barbados tomorrow.

Hampshire continue their preparations for the new season, which they begin against Yorkshire at Headingley on April 7, with a two-day friendly against Sussex at Hove from tomorrow.
