Sussex

Sussex County Cricket Club’s playing squad, coaching staff and office staff all recently took part in NatWest CricketForce, the largest volunteering event in sport. Sussex focussed on six clubs across the County, with the dual aim of rejuvenating playing facilities and putting local clubs at the heart of communities, as well as the recruitment of much-needed volunteers.

Sussex County Cricket Club is pleased to announce a new chapter in the history of their Academy Ground at Blackstone with Sutton Winson, one of the largest insurance brokers in the South-East, becoming the new sponsor. From the 2011 season, for a minimum term of two years, the ground will be known as "The Sutton Winson Academy Ground".

Sussex have announced the signing of Naved Arif, Lou Vincent and Kirk Wernars ahead of the 2011 county season. Subject to ECB clearance, all three are set to join up with the Hove-based squad. Left-arm seamer Arif, 29, has previously represented Pakistan A and brings a wealth of first-class experience and has also played Lancashire League cricket for Rawtenstall. He intends to qualify as a non-overseas player through his Danish wife.

Experienced batter Caroline Atkins has been named as the new Sussex Women's captain ahead of the 2011 season, replacing Alexia Walker, who has announced her retirement. She has been promoted from vice-captain, a role which will now be filled by left-arm spinner and fellow England international Holly Colvin.

Sussex have announced the signing of South Africa left-arm fast bowler Wayne Parnell as their overseas player for the second half of the 2011 season. Parnell, who has played three Tests, 18 One-Day Internationals and 11 Twenty20 Internationals for the Proteas, will replace Pakistan international Rana Naved-ul-Hasan who is set to play for the first half of the season.

Sussex CCC have signed Pakistani quick bowler Rana Naved-ul-Hasan as their overseas player for the first half of the 2011 season, welcoming him back to Hove for a third spell at the club. 32-year-old Rana played for Sussex between 2005 and 2007 before returning in the early part of 2010, scoring a century against Leicestershire in the LV= County Championship.

Sussex CCC are delighted to announce a major new partnership with a UK leading Tax and Wealth Management specialist PROBIZ. As of the start of the 2011 season, PROBIZ has been awarded naming rights to The County Ground in Hove as their core sponsorship investment in cricket. The initial term will cover 2011 and 2012, with an option to extend for a further two seasons.

Sussex CCC have confirmed that they will be preparing for the 2011 county season with a pre-season tour of Dubai. The squad will fly out to the United Arab Emirates on Thursday 24th March 2011 to start preparing for the new season.

Sussex have revealed their Academy intake for 2011, with the four players being retained from 2010 joined by six who are new. Georgia Adams, Harry Finch, Matthew Hobden, Callum Jackson, Tim Moses and Abidine Sakande will join John Glover, Owain Jones, Jack Parsons and Hannah Phelps who have all retained their places.

Sussex have confirmed that 11 players will be heading to Port Elizabeth this weekend (8th January) for a four-week training camp, including new signing Amjad Khan.
