"It's the best thing ever" - Sam Hain on fatherhood and a very special winter away in Australia

Sam Hain will be the customary batting linchpin for Warwickshire in his 13th season with the club. Nothing has changed in that respect, but for the 30-year-old, the bigger picture has been transformed in a wonderful way.

As Sam Hain prepares for the new season with Warwickshire, his 13th to date, everything at Edgbaston is very familiar.  

But everything is different.

Much water has flown along the River Rea since Hain made his Bears debut against Middlesex at Edgbaston early in the 2014 season. The 18-year-old went in at 27 for two and made an immediate impression with a resolute 42 which helped turn the innings round and set his team on the way to an innings victory.
