'No-brainer' as popular Aussie rejoins English county

Sean Abbott missed his usual English summer assignment with Surrey last season and they missed him -- but the Australian international has signed up to try and help them regain their title as county champions in 2026.

The allrounder, who first played for The Oval-based club five years ago and has become a popular fixture there as he helped them win two of their three successive titles in 2023 and 2024, is seen as a key weapon to help Surrey regain their crown after losing out to Nottinghamshire in his absence last year.
