Squad Announcement:
There is one enforced change to the squad, with white-ball captain Harrison Ward ruled out after sustaining an injury during the recent Cluberly Championship fixture against Berkshire. In Ward’s absence, George Tait will once again lead the side, having captained throughout much of the group stage during Ward’s Vitality Blast commitments.
Prav Chahal also returns to the squad, having recovered from injury. He is fit to bowl again and makes his first appearance since featuring in the group stage fixture against Buckinghamshire in mid-June. Seventeen-year-old Arthur Hanson, a product of the Oxfordshire pathway programme and a current member of the Sussex CCC Academy, retains his place in the squad following his involvement in the Super 12s. He is joined by fellow pathway graduate and Sussex Academy player Julian Laird, who is available for his first call-up to the Twenty20 side after an impressive performance in both innings of the recent Championship match.
