Hugh Griffiths takes over as acting Chief Executive at Sussex

Following the departure of Nigel Russell as Chief Executive of Sussex CCC the Club has announced that for the foreseeable future the Club will be run by the current Operations Manager, Hugh Griffiths in the role of Acting Chief Executive. There are no plans at present to actively seek a new CEO.

Mr Griffiths will take control of the administrative side of the Club whilst the cricket side will come under the guidance of Peter Moores in the new role of Director of Cricket. Mr Moores will be responsible for all aspects of cricket from the professional squad to youth development. He will report to former-Sussex captain John Barclay who was co-opted on the SCCC Committee in May this year as Cricket Chairman.

David Green, Chairman, said: "Peter was appointed Director of Cricket over six weeks ago but we awaited the end of the season in order to set up a properly integrated cricket and coaching department under his direct control which has the depth and flexibility of personnel in order that Peter can continue to be hands on with the First XI during the season. With this in mind Mark Robinson is confirmed as Club Coach."
