Barber is a steadily progressing left-arm seamer who has been a fixture for the England U19s since the South Africa tour of 2012.
Barber made his Hampshire debut against a touring Sri Lanka A side on 14 August 2014.
Barber would go on to make his 'competitive' debut for Hampshire just a week later in a Royal London 50 over match against Yorkshire.
Barber though was dismissed is the first innings while batting for 0 from only 2 balls by Adil Rashid as Hampshire were defeated by 6 wickets.
Daniel Norcross was very impressed describing him as ‘a left-arm bowler of genuine pace, he extracted serious bounce from some fairly lifeless surfaces’ and said that he was one to watch.
