Sussex likely to be in special measures for financial mismanagement - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...sures-alleged-financial-mismanagement-cricket

They signed four players from other counties this winter: Briggs, Leaning, Price and Goodman. That's joint top with Leicestershire by my reckoning. I imagine that might not have a full compliment of overseas players in 2026.

 

[Yeoman]

Doesn't sound good, but positive that the ecb are acting to prevent excessive wage inflation.

How Gloucestershire avoided special measures in the last few years is beyond me.
