With the bat, he scored 6 runs before being dismissed by Dolar Mahmud. Bangladesh A won the match by 80 runs.[3] Also during the 2008 season, he took a Second XI Championship hat-trick against Northamptonshire II at Brunton Memorial Ground, Radlett, becoming the first MCC Young Cricketer to take a hat-trick in the Second XI Championship.[4] Hodnett was included in Nottinghamshire's 2009 preseason plans but suffered a Patellar Tendinitis injury to his right knee, which ruled him out for the rest of the season.[5]

In 2010, he made four Minor Counties Championship appearances for Berkshire against Wales Minor Counties, Cheshire, Shropshire and Cornwall.[6] [7]
