LONDON, (CMC) – Bermudan all-rounder Delray Rawlins has had his contract with Sussex County Cricket Club extended by two years after he enjoyed another productive season, even though it was cut short by the COVID-19 outbreak.

The club announced the 23-year-old left-hander had signed a contract extension along with two other players, George Garton and Tom Haines.

“It’s nice to sign for a couple more years, and they are some big years ahead for me,” Rawlins said on Monday.

“I’ll be working hard to make sure that they are successful as well.”

Rawlins, an aggressive batsman and left-arm slow bowler, scored 460 runs and claimed 11 wickets across both formats during the 2020 season.

He made a season-high first-class score of 65 against Surrey, claimed career-best Twenty20 figures of three for 21 and hit an unbeaten 62 against Kent in the Vitality Blast.

“We’re delighted that George, Tom and Delray have extended their stays with Sussex,” said Keith Greenfield, the Sussex performance director.

“George has had a fantastic summer and is showing the match-winning capabilities we all know he has.

“Tom and Delray again have both shown the talent and potential they have, and were given more support and match time to add the consistency to make regular match-winning contributions for the club.”

Rawlins joined the Sussex Cricket Academy in 2015 and made his debut in the Second XI Championship the same year.

He signed a one-year professional contract with the club in 2016 and made his first-class debut against Kent in the County Championship the following season. He made his maiden first-class century against Lancashire last year.
