Preston Nomads eyeing treble as 2022 Sussex Cricket League season starts

The 2021 Sussex Premier Cricket League champions, Preston Nomads CC, are working towards retaining the title come early September 2022.

Nomads have appointed Navin Patel as the 2022 1st Team Captain. He said: 'It is my absolute honour and privilege to have been announced as the Preston Nomads CC 1st XI Captain. This fantastic club has a proud and decorated history and so to have my name now etched as one of the club's leaders is truly a humbling experience, I have a good feeling about 2022."

The club have taken the bold step of signing overseas player Rehan Afridi from Pakistan in the wicketkeeper/mid order position. Rehan has a rich pedigree at First Class level in Pakistan and is a proven winner. The club say they are very excited to welcome him to Sussex.

There is already a buzz around the Spen Cama Memorial Ground, Fulking, after picking up pre-season wins against Weybridge, Sussex Uni and win in a one-run thriller against Reigate Priory.

The club said: "The Sussex Premier, Sussex T20 Cup and the ECB Club Cup are firmly in our sights! We are ready!"
