Sussex will return to Hove cricket ground as they continue their bid for promotion from the County Championship Division Two.

Paul Farbrace’s side will take on Derbyshire at the tail end of their season sitting in the promotion places with three games to go.

Sussex were sitting top of the Second Division until their loss against Yorkshire last week saw them fall below Surrey.

They last faced First Division Derbyshire in May, winning by an innings and 124 runs.

Sussex Squad:

  • Tom Alsop
  • Jack Carson
  • Oli Carter
  • Tom Clark
  • James Coles
  • Henry Crocombe
  • Tom Haines
  • Finn Hudson-Prentice
  • Daniel Hughes
  • Sean Hunt
  • Ari Karvelas
  • Ollie Robinson
  • John Simpson (c, wk)
  • Jaydev Unadkat

David Lloyd captains Derbyshire with Zak Chappell, Harry Came and Daryn Dupavillon all also named in the squad.

Derbyshire won their last match against Glamorgan by ten wickets but sit in the bottom half of the first division table.

Both sides provided a thrilling draw in 2023 after Sussex set Derbyshire 380 to win only for the visitors to nearly secure the highest successful run chase in first class cricket.

Sussex begin the match against Derbyshire at 11am today.
