The 2027 season will feel like a new era for Sussex in many ways, hopefully there will be green shoots of financial recovery.

One less positive aspect of this new era appears to be the possible absence of overseas players.

While financially prudent, the prospect makes one yearn for some of the legends who have graced Hove's sun-drenched slope. Add this to our continued deprioritisation of the 50 over format, and question marks over the format's future, and one might ask whether we'll ever have an international legend play a List A game for us again.

With this in mind, and in the wake of this year's disappointing Metro Bank Cup campaign, it feels like as good a time as any to ask who was our greatest overseas player in the List A format?
