This sense of belonging is a huge part of who I am and what I believe. So eight-year-old Beth could only dream of now having the opportunity to lead the world’s oldest professional cricket club and secure its future. “Although Sussex has had a difficult time off the field of late, a huge amount of work has been done over the last ten months to put the club on a more stable footing. I really look forward to working closely with Ed Warner and the board, management team, players, members and fans to build on this work and move Sussex forward with energy and ambition. » Barrett-Wild, who played county cricket for Essex, began her career at MCC before moving to ECB in 2013 as media manager for England Women.

Her achievements in the game have taken women’s cricket to a whole new level and I look forward to working closely with Beth to ensure a bright future for Sussex Cricket.” “The standard of candidates we had for this position was very high and set the stage for an extremely competitive process, but Beth’s talent and drive came through and made her an exceonal candidate and the best person to lead Sussex Cricket to an exciting new charter in this club’s long and storied history.”
