Sussex have been placed in special measures by the England and Wales Cricket Board due to alleged financial mismanagement and breaches of the governing body’s sustainability regulations.
It is understood that the county is in the process of signing up to an ECB business plan, which will include strict limits on their spending, with any significant outgoings such as player signings or registrations requiring approval from Lord’s. The ECB will also monitor Sussex’s financial returns, and observe board and committee meetings.
