JM Vince

India · Left-arm orthodox · All-rounder

James Vince is a Hampshire batter whose career has been shaped almost entirely by T20 franchise cricket. Across 417 matches in all formats, he has scored 12,583 runs at an average of 33.2, with his primary competition being the T20 Blast, where 152 appearances for Hampshire have produced 5,036 runs at 38.15. His overall T20 strike rate of 124.25 understates what he offers in domestic settings: in the Blast specifically that figure rises to 141.94. Internationally, he has played 13 Tests, 21 ODIs and 15 T20 Internationals for England, though those appearances make up a small fraction of his total volume.

Career threads

Beyond the numbers

Over 12,500 career runs across 417 matches

James Vince has accumulated 12,583 runs at a batting average of 33.2 across all formats and competitions. His overall T20 strike rate of 124.25 underlines a player built for the shorter game, with the bulk of those runs coming in domestic and franchise T20 cricket.

T20 Blast is his standout competition

In 152 T20 Blast appearances for Hampshire, Vince averages 38.15 at a strike rate of 141.94. Those are his strongest numbers across any competition and represent the deepest body of evidence for his quality at the top of a T20 order.

Sussex the most profitable opponent on record

Against Sussex across 19 matches, Vince has scored 873 runs at an average of 54.56 and a strike rate of 160.48. Those are the standout opponent figures in our dataset by some distance.

The Ageas Bowl is his most-played venue by far

Vince has batted at the Rose Bowl in 95 matches, scoring 2,985 runs at an average of 35.54. No other ground comes close for volume, and his 135.07 strike rate there shows he scores freely on his home surface.

SA20 form has been mixed in early 2026

His last 10 innings span the SA20 and ILT20. Two scores of 75 and 77 sit alongside four single-figure or low contributions, suggesting he is capable of significant output but has not been stringing innings together consistently of late.
