Maddy considers his future at Grace Road

Darren Maddy could join either Warwickshire or Sussex next season even though Leicestershire have offered him a new contract.

Maddy, who has been an allrounder at Grace Road for the last 13 years, is believed to favour a move to Warwickshire, although Sussex are hoping to lure him on the back of their Championship success. The Sussex manager, Mark Robinson, says he will not enter into a bidding war, despite believing Maddy's addition would bolster his squad.

"I have a budget to work to," Robinson told the Brighton Argus, "and we will not get involved in an auction."
