England batter James Vince has announced his decision to step away from red-ball cricket for the 2025 season. This move opens the door for his participation in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

England batter James Vince has made a decision to relocate to Dubai, marking a significant shift in his personal and professional life. The move comes after his family home was attacked in Hampshire twice in 2024.

World Cup winner James Vince is to stand down as captain of Hampshire after a decade in charge and move to Dubai following attacks on his family home, the English cricket county announced today.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who was signed on a lucrative contract by Peshawar Zalmi on Monday, is likely to follow Vince's lead and has committed to playing in the PSL. He has been speaking to Somerset and the ECB in a bid for clarity over whether he will need to renegotiate his own deal - moving to a white-ball contract - in order to be granted an NOC.

Earlier this week it was announced that Captain and star batter James Vince would not be playing championship cricket for Hampshire in 2025.

Hampshire and former England cricketer James Vince has become the first player to sign a white-ball only contract since the ECB announced its new policy on No-Objection Certificates (NOCs). His decision comes after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that players will be denied NOCs for all overseas T20 leagues that take place
