The supremely talented 20-year-old made his mark in The Hundred for Manchester Originals, scoring two half-centuries in six innings to go with the strike rate of 161.95.
Inventive and versatile, Hurst bats anywhere inside the top six and has the repertoire of shots to work the field to his advantage.
He also keeps wicket for Lancashire in County Cricket, offering reliable cover for incumbent Scorchers gloveman Josh Inglis.
