The financial straitjacket imposed by ECB that Sussex will be operating under for the next three years was outlined by chief executive Mark West at Tuesday’s AGM.

Sussex were put in special measures by the governing body in February after announcing losses of £1.33m with a points deduction across all three competitions including 12 in the County Championship.
