Profile

Chris Benham made his county debut in 2004 scoring 74 against Derbyshire. He has represented England at junior level, and also played first-class cricket for Loughborough UCCE. He will be looking to break into Hampshire's competitive top-order and, in the Pro40 play-off against Glamorgan, struck a brutal 158 to take Hampshire into Division One of the tournament for 2007.
