Arundel Festival starts

The Arundel Festival of Cricket returns once again and begins with Sussex Sharks’ Clydesdale Bank 40 clash with Kent Spitfires, at Arundel Castle today (Monday July 16 1.45pm start).

The Sharks, unbeaten so far in this competition, were frustrated in their attempts to move top of Group C by the weather last week as the match with Warwickshire Bears was abandoned due to rain but a win at Arundel against the Spitfires would see them go top of the pile.

Matt Prior is unavailable as England begin their Test Series against South Africa so Ben Brown returns behind the stumps.

The Sussex squad is as follows:

Amjad Khan

WAT Beer

BC Brown (wkt)

JS Gatting

MW Goodwin

Naveed Arif Gondal

EC Joyce

CJ Liddle

CD Nash

MS Panesar

LWP Wells

KO Wernars

LJ Wright

MH Yardy (c)
