Vince is associated primarily with Hampshire, the county for which he has played across formats. He is recognised as a top- and middle-order batter known for orthodox right-handed batting, and he occasionally contributes with right-arm medium pace bowling.
Vince has been a long-serving figure for Hampshire County Cricket Club, captaining the side in all formats. In 2025, he announced his retirement from red-ball cricket, while continuing to play for Hampshire in the Twenty20 format.
He made his international debut for England in May 2015. He was subsequently selected as part of the England squad that won the 2019 Cricket World Cup, the country's first men's 50-over world title.
Vince's career has combined long-term leadership at Hampshire with selection for England across formats. His inclusion in the 2019 Cricket World Cup-winning squad places him among the group of English cricketers associated with that landmark title.
