Win Projections to be updated soon
Sussex County Cricket Club will bid farewell to Cheteshwar Pujara as they secure the services of Daniel Hughes and Jayden Seales for the 2025 County Championship season. While Australian batsman Hughes will be available for the entire season, bolstering Sussex’s lineup, West Indian pacer Seales will contribute in the early stages. Hughes, a standout performer in this year’s T20 Blast, and Seales, who has been a key asset in both domestic and international cricket, will aim to build on their strong performances and drive Sussex’s ambition for promotion.
Pujara’s Departure and Hughes’ Return
Cheteshwar Pujara will not be returning to Sussex for the 2025 County Championship season. His departure marks the end of a notable stint with the club, during which he provided valuable experience and solid performances. Sussex, on the other hand, has secured the services of Australian left-hander Daniel Hughes and West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales for the upcoming season. Hughes, who was instrumental in Sussex’s success this season, will be available for the entire season, enhancing the team’s batting depth.
Paul Farbrace, Sussex’s head coach, acknowledged the challenge of replacing Pujara but expressed satisfaction with Hughes’ contributions. Hughes’ impressive run in the Blast and his role in the team’s push for promotion reflect his crucial role. With Hughes’ extended availability and Seales’ effective spell earlier this season, Sussex aims to strengthen their squad and build on their recent successes.
Seales’ Impact and Glamorgan’s New Signing
Jayden Seales has been a standout performer for Sussex, taking 38 wickets in the early part of the season and significantly contributing to the team’s dominance in the second division. His performances, including a notable five-wicket haul, have been pivotal in Sussex’s campaign. With Seales available for the initial part of the 2025 season, Sussex is well-positioned to maintain their competitive edge.
In a related move, Glamorgan has announced the signing of New Zealand seamer Fraser Sheat for the upcoming month of County Championship matches. Sheat brings substantial first-class experience and a solid record, adding depth to Glamorgan’s bowling attack. His inclusion is expected to bolster Glamorgan’s squad as they look to enhance their performance in the latter stages of the season.
