In 2010, Hancock was selected as one of 21 players to form the first Unicorns squad to take part in the 2010 Clydesdale Bank 40 domestic limited overs competition against the regular first-class counties. The Unicorns were made up of 15 former county cricket professionals and 6 young cricketers looking to make it in the professional game.[1]
