Sussex stick with winners

On the back of their County Championship and C&G double, Sussex have offered a clutch of their stars new deals.

Matt Prior, Michael Yardy, Murray Goodwin Robin Martin-Jenkins, Chris Nash and Carl Hopkinson have all been handed extensions with a new one-year contract being offered to Tom Smith, a graduate from the highly successful Sussex/ECB Academy.

Luke Wright, Andrew Hodd, Mushtaq Ahmed, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and Chris Adams are all still within contract.

Mark Robinson, the cricket manager, said: "We are keen to ensure the club continues to be successful not only next year but for years to come. We are looking to settle all negotiations as quickly as we can."
