Must read

England bowlers Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson have both signed one-year contract extensions at Sussex.

Pace bowler Archer, 29, has won 59 caps for his country across red and white-ball cricket, claiming 115 wickets.

Fellow seamer Robinson, 30, has taken 27 wickets for Sussex in the County Championship this season, as well as 16 in the T20 Blast.

He has claimed 76 wickets in 20 Test matches for England at an average of 22.92 – but was omitted from the squad for the recent 3-0 series win over West Indies.

Sussex are top of County Championship Division Two after nine games of the season and through to the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast.

“I am delighted to have signed another contract with Sussex – Hove feels like home to me, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” Archer said.
