English cricket team take u-turn after backlash, confirm rape acquitted cricketer won't represent club
Hampshire Cricket have confirmed that New Zealand all-rounder Scott Kuggeleijn will not represent the club, following strong criticism from supporters over his inclusion in the squad for the County Championship. The 34-year-old was named in Hampshire's 15-member squad on X ahead of their match against Warwickshire, although the county had not formally announced his arrival as an overseas player at the time.
