You know the cricket season is only days away when Hampshire pose for their annual team picture.
Rain meant the pre-season photo shoot had to take place indoors for the first time in several years as Hampshire unveiled their new-look kits at the Ageas Bowl this afternoon.
All players were present except last season's player of the year Gareth Berg, who was undergoing a knee operation that will keep him out for at least six weeks.
Jimmy Adams (ankle) and Ryan Stevenson (back) are also unavailable for the opening game against Warwickshire at the Ageas Bowl on Sunday.
New signing Reece Topley is available but Hampshire may decide to give him more time to prepare for four-day matches after a winter of limited-overs cricket with England.
