WORLD CUP winner James Vince is to step down as Hampshire captain after 10 years and move to Dubai following several attacks on his family home.

Vince, however, will continue play white-ball cricket for the county in the 2025 Vitality Blast campaign and skipper the Hampshire Hawks.

The 33-year-old all-rounder, part of the England squad who won the 2019 Cricket World Cup on home soil, had his house and car attacked last year and said his young family were left fearing for their safety.
