Daniel Hughes returns to Sussex

It's been touched upon on our social media and in a few web articles over the winter, but it has come to our attention that there was no official announcement that Dan Hughes would be returning to Sussex this summer.

Well, he's back! Following a fruitful winter that saw him play plenty of cricket over in Australia - including opening in the Big Bash League - Hughes arrived yesterday afternoon and is available for selection for the season opener with Leicestershire. 

This is his third season as a Sussex overseas player. Last year he couldn’t quite match his performances in 2024 – the highlight finishing as the leading run scorer in the Vitality Blast – but he still made 815 Championship runs and will no doubt be looking to build on this for the forthcoming season.

Welcome back, Hughesy!
