Henry Rogers and Zach Lion-Cachet sign Rookie contracts with Sussex

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce that Henry Rogers and Zach Lion-Cachet have signed Rookie contracts with the Club.

17-year-old Sussex Academy batter Henry Rogers attends Hurstpierpoint College and plays his Club cricket at Cuckfield CC.

Rogers made his first team debut last summer against Oxfordshire in the National Counties friendly, making 73 from 75 balls.

His form resulted in a call-up to England U19s, and he went on to make his maiden half-century against Ireland U19s.

19-year-old Zach Lion-Cachet is another product of the talent development partnership between Oxfordshire and Sussex, a route that both Harrison Ward and James Coles have taken to the first team.

Lion-Cachet made his first team debut last season in the Metro Bank One Day Cup against Worcestershire, scoring 34 runs.

For the Second XI, Lion-Cachet made two centuries last season, making 111 and 102* respectively.

Speaking on awarding the two prospects Rookie contracts, Sussex Head Coach, Paul Farbrace said: “Zach is a talented young batter, who has shown real determination to improve and learn.

"He is an exciting project that we all want to help develop. 

"Henry showed real maturity on his debut last season at Oxfordshire and looks an excellent striker and timer of a ball.

"It's great that he has also spent time with the Young Lions this summer. We are all looking forward to helping and watching Henry continue to develop his all round game."
