New chairman Ed Warner outlines his vision for Sussex

Warner, the 62-year-old former head of UK Athletics, has yet to speak to the media since his appointment last week after a three-month process to find a successor to Jon Filby.

But he has written about his first week in the job in his latest Substack blog Sport Inc. He has been critical of cricket's leadership in past posts and said he was asked about that during the interview process.

In a post in February, when Filby resigned as the extent of Sussex's financial problems became apparent, Warner argued that the club's management 'were primarily guilty of hope in overreaching for sporting success - a very human failing'.
