We caught up with Ravi Bopara ahead of Sussex's opening Vitality Blast against Surrey on Friday at The 1st Central County Ground.
Bopara, who is in line to make his Sussex debut against the London-based side, won the Blast with Essex Eagles last year and spoke about the factors that led him to joining the Sharks, and also about how he has found his time on the south coast since his arrival.
With the focus now on the match against Surrey, Ravi spoke about what impact having no supporters in the ground would have on the match, the importance of getting off to a good start in this year's competition and lots more.
