Squad named for final RL50 group game

Sussex Sharks have named an unchanged squad ahead of our final Royal London Cup match against Middlesex tomorrow.

The Sharks currently sit top of the group, with second place Middlesex visiting The 1st Central County Ground tomorrow, with a potential knockout place at stake.

Six teams can still take their place in the next stage of the competition, with the top place automatically taking a place in a semi-final, and second and third making quarter-finals.

Kirtley’s comments

“There was a real buzz around the place when we came into train, it was really excitement. As a coach you’re wondering how your players will react to an important game, so it was great to see.

“We’ve been playing some really good cricket in this competition; we’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible and we hope that those processes will take us into a semi-final tomorrow.

“The lads have been positive with the ball, disciplined with the ball and we’ve been committed in the field. They’re playing with a smile on their face and with real enjoyment which is brilliant.”
