David Wiese returns to 14-man squad for final Bob Willis Trophy match against Surrey

A 14-man Sussex squad will travel to The Kia Oval on Sunday to face Surrey in the final round of the Bob Willis Trophy.

David Wiese is available for selection following his return from South Africa, while 16-year-old James Coles is named in our first-team squad for the second time in his fledgling career and 19-year-old Ali Orr is included for the first time. 

Mitch Claydon is suspended pending the outcome of an ECB allegation of placing hand sanitiser on the ball in our match against Middlesex. There will be no further comment at this stage.

The opposition:

Surrey have lost all four of their Bob Willis Trophy matches this season, with their most recent defeat coming against Kent.

Ben Foakes scored a fabulous century for Surrey in that match, but Kent’s Darren Stevens took seven wickets across the two innings to seal his side an exciting 17-run win.

An innings defeat to Hampshire preceded the loss against Kent, while heavy losses against Essex and Middlesex saw Surrey begin their Bob Willis Trophy campaign with two disappointing results.

20-year-old Jamie Smith is Surrey’s leading run-scorer with 241 to his name, while with the ball, Amar Virdi has impressed with 15 dismissals to lead the wicket-taking ranks.
