James Michael Vince (born 14 March 1991 in Cuckfield, West Sussex) is an English cricketer who currently plays for Hampshire County Cricket Club. He was educated at Warminster School in Wiltshire, where he was a student from 2001-2007 before leaving to pursue a career as a professional cricketer.He is also a very talented footballer who played for Reading Academy for 3 years before playing for Trowbridge Town F.C. at 16. He is a right-handed middle-order batsman who is a right-arm medium pace bowler.
A graduate from Hampshire's cricket academy, Vince – along with fellow academy graduates Benny Howell, Chris Morgan, Tom Parsons, and Hamza Riazuddin – signed a one-year deal with the club at the start of 2009.[1] He made his Championship debut on 11 June 2009 against Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. His recent impressive batting performances earned him a call up to the England U-19 side for their test series against Bangladesh.
According to Duncan Fletcher, who acted as a consult for Hampshire and was the former coach of the England team, Vince is reminiscent of former England batsman Michael Vaughan.[2]
Following the retirement of John Crawley during the 2009 season, Vince has been a regular for Hampshire in all forms of the game. He was a member of Hampshire's 2010 Friends Provident t20 winning team which defeated Somerset.[3] Vince scored his maiden first-class century in a county championship against Yorkshire, scoring 180 runs in a 278 run stand with James Adams, which is the county's 4th highest partnership in first-class cricket.
