Sussex are to move from the County Ground in Hove, their home since 1872. The county have joined forces with Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club in the quest for a multi-purpose sports stadium in the county. Robin Marlar will stay on as chairman of Sussex for another year on a shared power basis with the retired Marks and Spencer director Don Trangmar.

The former New Zealand captain, Lee Germon, retired yesterday after guiding Canterbury to the Shell Trophy against Northern Districts.
