Allrounder Ashutosh Sharma has been ruled out of Hampshire’s One-Day Cup clash against Derbyshire on Tuesday after picking up an injury in the team’s previous match. Hampshire confirmed the development though the team did not specify the nature or seriousness of the injury.

The injury setback comes at an important stage of the competition, with Hampshire currently fourth in their group after winning four of their seven matches.

“Ashutosh Sharma is unavailable due to an injury he picked up during Sunday’s match – pace bowler Harry Petrie, who featured in the opening three games of the competition, comes back in,” Hampshire said in a statement on Tuesday.

Ashutosh has struggled to make a major impact with the bat in this season’s One-Day Cup. He has scored just 56 runs from seven matches, with 16 his highest score.

His contribution with the ball, however, has been considerably stronger.

Bowling medium pace, the 28-year-old has emerged as Hampshire’s leading wicket-taker, claiming 14 wickets at an average of 15.92. His performances with the ball have been one of the significant positives of his campaign despite his limited returns with the bat.

With Ashutosh unavailable, Hampshire have brought back Harry Petrie, who featured in the county’s first three matches of the competition. His inclusion provides the side with an immediate replacement as they look to strengthen their position in the group and push for qualification for the next stage.

The extent of Ashutosh’s injury remains unknown, as does whether it will keep him out beyond Tuesday’s fixture.

Ashutosh, 27, represents Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), with the franchise co-owned by GMR Group, which also owns Hampshire. Across the last two IPL seasons, he has scored more than 350 runs for DC at a strike rate of 170 and an average of 31.25.

He began his domestic career with Madhya Pradesh in 2017 before moving to Railways. Ashutosh has since played 92 matches across all formats. In List A cricket, he has scored 458 runs and taken two wickets from 21 matches.

His IPL breakthrough came with Punjab Kings, where he made his debut as an Impact Substitute and scored 31 off 17 balls. Delhi Capitals subsequently bought him for Rs 3.80 crore ahead of the 2025 season.
