If they're working to a similar strategy as last season they might want a left-armer brought in to really bring Harmer into the game when spin may be slightly more prevalent. Neil Wagner may already be lined up again.

Essex are making another announcement today, presumably to do with another overseas, maybe one for the T20.

Rashid Khan to Sussex for half the t20. https://www.sussexcricket.co.uk/news/rashid-khan-joins-sussex-sharks-t20-blast
I know English clubs have tried to sign afghanis in the past but couldn't get the visa. Presumably with Afghanistan becoming a test nation their players can now get visas.
Sussex have a real load of options for t20 especially in bowling and rare attacking options (at least in english cricket). Archer, Briggs, Beer, Rashid, Mills, Garton, Jordan, Wiese.
It's a great signing in that he's a great bowler, but the squad would possibly benefit more from a batsman.

Fantastic signing and I'm pleased we're going to get to see him in our T20 competition this summer, I agree, in that they have some fantastic options for T20 cricket and they are certainly going for bowling to be their strength.
Whether they've got the balance of the side right I'm not so sure either but the Gillespie factor and his connection with Rashid (his coach at Adelaide) certainly paying dividends in bringing such a talent over to Sussex.

Fresh doubt over MCC University scheme - ESPNcricinfo
This must be a worry for those who want to produce more local cricketers.

Something about the idea of Head's hard handed technique in conditions where the ball moves around but doesn't come onto the bat makes be a bit nervous. But it can't hurt him.

Exclusive: Adil Rashid turns back on first-class cricket after agreeing white ball-only Yorkshire contract
rashid giving up first class cricket. Bad news for Yorkshire, bad news for English cricket. Championship cricket is going to get weaker and weaker if the likes of Buttler Rashid Morgan Billings willey etc stop playing alltogether, plus they'll never develop to become those test quality players that they possibly could with the skills they possess.
Had a bit of money on Yorkshire to win championship this year at 8-1 so I too am rather disappointed that there will be no rashid around. He'd have been available for a good chunk of the games and offers better balance than Rafiq.

Interesting that the northeast thing hasn't been resolved. Seems to be dragging on. Kent actually doing quite well in the West Indies 50 over comp. Denly been excellent with the ball.
Dobell seemed to think Hampshire was an option for Northeast. Notts and Sussex other teams I've seen mooted.
Bailey not going back to Hampshire. Good news if you ask me. Get in an opener or another fast bowler.
