Essentially Group Welcomes Macarenhas and Finn

Essentially Group is pleased to welcome on board Dimitri Mascarenhas and Steve Finn as clients of the athlete Management division.

Hampshire and England star Mascarenhas made his long-awaited One Day International debut last July against the West Indies. On the back of some strong One Day performances, he was then selected in the England squad for the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa and will travel to New Zealand for the upcoming one day series.

Steve, a towering young Middlesex fast bowler standing at 6ft8, impressed on the recent England Performance Programme tour of India late last year. Capable of bowling up to 90mph, Finn has been on the Middlesex books since 2005, making his first-class debut the same year. At just 18 years of age, many shrewd judges predict a bright future at international level for this young quick.

Essentially is a leading international sports business, with particular expertise and experience in the sports of cricket, rugby union and Formula One. Its unrivalled cricket business is the exclusive commercial agent of the English test match grounds, runs events such as the PCA Awards and manages cricketers such as Ricky Ponting and Brian Lara.

Essentially’s Head of Cricket Management, former Surrey and Durham cricketer, David Ligertwood, commented on the latest signings:

"We’re delighted to be working with Steve and Dimi. They have both taken giant steps in their careers of late and we are all very excited about their prospects for the future. We are pleased to be assisting these two with their affairs not just because of their obvious cricketing talent but also as they are high quality and professional people."
