Former West Indies pacer Fidel Edwards has signed a one-year contract extension with Hampshire, keeping him at the Ageas bowl until the end of the 2020 season.

Edwards has taken 47 wickets at an average of 23.55 this season, including four five-wicket hauls, with three championship fixtures remaining.

Edwards joined the county in 2015, picking up 45 first-class wickets in eight matches at an average of just 20.80 in his debut campaign.

Despite suffering a season-ending injury in early 2016, he returned to pick up 33 wickets at an average of 24.06 the following year.

Edwards continued that good form in 2018, passing 50 first-class wickets in a season for the first time in his career as he picked up 54 scalps in 15 matches.
