Five Sussex players are part of the 2022 Southern Vipers Academy. Daisy Gibb, Cassidy McCarthy, Freya Kemp, Mary Taylor and Millie Taylor are included in a 12-strong group.

The Vipers Academy will undertake a full winter-training programme and a series of competitive fixtures next summer.

The intake follows an observation and assessment programme and is made up of representatives from the counties in the South-Central region.

Ian Cox, Southern Vipers Senior Regional Talent Manager, said: “We look forward to delivering a comprehensive programme for Southern Vipers’ 2022 Academy intake.

“The programme will include cricket, strength and conditioning, lifestyle, wellbeing and high-performance sport psychology support as we look to give the players the platform to improve all aspects of their game.”

Adam Carty, South-Central Regional Director of Cricket, added: “It’s such an exciting time to be a talented young cricketer in the region.

“Ongoing financial and holistic support has allowed the Southern Vipers to assemble an excellent support team who all share the same values in regards to providing the best environment for learning and development.”
