The Sussex Cricket Foundation is delighted to announce the appointment of Jack Carson, Tom Alsop and Mary Taylor as Sussex Cricket Foundation Ambassadors for 2024.
The trio joint the already appointed Georgia Adams and Dan Field to help support the Foundation’s mission of actively changing lives through the power of cricket and help promote the Foundation among men’s, women’s, and disability cricket teams.
Tom Alsop will build upon the work he has already done with the County Disability teams, which has included coaching their indoor training sessions throughout the winter and building a strong connection between the professional squad and our community teams.
Gary Wallis-Tayler, Community Cricket Director: “I am delighted that Tom, Jack and Mary have agreed to join Georgia & Dan as Ambassadors of the Foundation.
“Having players from all three of our elite cricket teams to support the Foundation is crucial to building a stronger connection between the professional and recreation side of Sussex Cricket.
“Our players are role models and it’s important that they get involved in community events, so they can see first-hand the work of the Foundation and also help inspire future players of the game.”
Sussex’s Tom Alsop said: “It’s a privilege to be a foundation ambassador. I’ve seen first-hand the happiness and positive impact the foundation brings to so many.
“There’s so much passion for the game in this county; I was fortunate enough to work with the D40 squads this winter and their collective enthusiasm and enjoyment for the game was infectious.
“Sussex is a fantastic club and a club for all. The more we can grow our game and club, the more positive impact on people’s lives we can make.”
Sussex Women’s Mary Taylor added: “I am delighted to become an ambassador for the Foundation.
“I hope to be able to use my profile to help inspire more women and girls to play the game and also to help the Foundation continue their fantastic work in growing the game.”
