Rashid Khan available for opening 10 Vitality Blast matches

Rashid Khan will now be available for Sussex Sharks' first 10 group matches in this year’s Vitality Blast.

The world’s number one T20 bowler was initially signed for the Sharks’ first seven matches of the tournament, but schedule changes mean Rashid has been able to extend his stay with the team.

That means Sussex fans will have an extra chance to see the world class leg-spinner in action at The 1st Central County Ground this summer.

In addition to home games against Hampshire, Surrey, Kent Spitfires and Glamorgan, Rashid will now be available for the Friday night fixture against Middlesex on 9th August.

Tickets for all seven group matches at The 1st Central County Ground are on sale now. Next Friday's clash against Surrey is already sold out, and a number of our other fixtures are very close to selling out, so supporters are encouraged to secure their seats without delay to avoid disappointment.
