White: Hants don't need to strengthen

Giles White feels Hampshire already have a strong enough squad for 2009

Hampshire cricket manager Giles White says there is no need for him to further strengthen the squad at the Rose Bowl.

White - who oversaw a remarkable turnaround in the south coast county's fortunes after taking over from Paul Terry last season - has already brought in veteran seamer Dominic Cork from Lancashire.

He has also secured leg-spinner Imran Tahir on a two-year deal as the club's overseas player.

"I think Dominic Cork compliments the squad very well and Imran's going to be our overseas player for the whole year which is great," said White.

"I never say never but at the moment I'm very happy with our squad."

White, who will work with former England coach Duncan Fletcher, revealed he was excited by the potential at Hampshire - who finished third in last season's LV County Championship and second in NatWest Pro40 Division One.

"As a squad I don't anticipate us adding anyone in the near future,” he added.

“We've got a nice rounded squad with depth in the bowling department, a strong batting line-up and young players coming through."
