Shane Warne: Stand named after him

Shane Warne: Stand named after him

Hampshire have announced they will name their two new stands at the Ageas Bowl after Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie and Shane Warne on June 16.

Ingleby-Mackenzie represented Hampshire between 1951 and 1966 and was chiefly responsible for their 1961 County Championship triumph after several of his bold declarations as captain led to unexpected victories.

He will take the stand on the west side of the ground while Warne, who spent seven years at the south coast club and led them from next-to-bottom in the Second Division to within a whisker of winning the championship title before departing in 2007, will take the east.

Both are fondly remembered at the Ageas Bowl, where the naming ceremony will coincide with England's one-day international against West Indies.
