Edwards, who played 55 Tests and 50 ODIs for West Indies, has taken 47 wickets at an average of 23.55 this season, including four five-wicket hauls.

"I'm very pleased to have signed for my sixth season at Hampshire, which has become my second home," Edwards said.

"Hopefully next year we can push on further and I'll be trying my best to help make it a successful season for the club."

Hampshire Director of Cricket Giles White added: "Fidel has been fantastic for us since joining in 2015 and this year he's excelled once again.

"He's an important part of our squad and a great character to have in and around the group - we're delighted to welcome him back for another year."
