Head coach Matt Maynard has named a 14-man squad for our LV= County Championship match against Sussex at Sophia Gardens.

After six matches in the four-day competition, the Welsh county sit in 6th place in Division Two on 81 points with two wins, two losses and two draws, while Sussex are a spot behind on 53.

With Marnus Labuschagne joining Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka, it is likely Colin Ingram will return to the side as one of our overseas players along with Michael Neser if he recovers from Covid-19.

Batter Eddie Byrom is also named in his first LV= County Championship squad of the season after recovering from minor surgery and injury. Byrom is expected to return to the top of the order in the place of all-rounder Andrew Salter.

Head-to-head – Glamorgan vs Sussex

Sussex were the victors last summer by eight wickets when the two teams met at Cardiff in the opening match of the 2021 Championship season. The contest, staged behind closed doors, was something of a personal triumph for Ollie Robinson, the Sussex seamer, who gave an object lesson in the virtues of line and length, harnessed to an ability to extract late movement. In the process of claiming thirteen wickets, his second innings haul of 9/78 was both a career-best return, and Sussex’s best-ever in Championship cricket against Glamorgan, with Robinson, on the back of this performance and a series of other decent spells, subsequently winning a place in the England Test squad.

In fifteen encounters against Sussex at Sophia Gardens, Glamorgan have been victorious on four occasions with their latest success taking place in April 1999 when both Simon Jones and Robert Croft each took five-wicket hauls, before a superb 153 from Steve James helped the Welsh county successfully chase a target of 336 on the final day to record a comprehensive victory by six wickets.
