Four Sussex players picked for second T10 League

Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Rashid Khan and Tymal Mills will feature in the second edition of the ten-over-a-side T10 League that will take place in the UAE next month.

Archer is part of the Karachians squad, Jordan returns for a second stint with the Punjabi Legends and Rashid will feature for the Maratha Arabians. All three were selected as marquee players or retained by their teams in July.

Mills joined his Sussex Sharks teammates in the tournament when he was picked up by the Rajputs outfit in Monday’s main draft.

This year’s competition – which takes place from Friday 23rd Novermber to Sunday 2nd December - has been expanded from four to ten days and from six to eight teams.

Karachians, Northern Warriors and Rajputs are the new teams, joining the returning Bengal Tigers, Kerala Kings, Maratha Arabians, Pashtoon and Punjabi Legends. Team Sri Lanka Cricket are the one side from the 2017 T10 League that are not involved this year.

The Kerala Kings are the reigning champions after they beat a Punjabi Legends team containing Jordan in last year’s final.
