Henry Crocombe has turned down a ‘very good offer’ from Sussex to sign for Surrey.

The 24-year-old fast bowler, who was developed in the county’s academy from the age of 12, will remain at Hove until the end of the season before heading to the Kia Oval.

It’s a bitter blow for Sussex and their supporters, though it won’t come as a huge shock.
