Overview
- Gloucestershire announced on Monday that Alsop has agreed a three-year contract and will leave Sussex at the end of the current season.
- Sussex’s recent sanctions for sustained operating losses, including points deductions and special measures, were cited by club figures as a factor in Alsop’s decision to move.
- Alsop said family needs and the desire for professional security were decisive in accepting Gloucestershire’s offer.
- Gloucestershire’s director of cricket, Jon Lewis, said Alsop will add multi-format batting strength and senior leadership to the dressing room.
- Alsop brings a strong domestic and franchise record to Bristol, including six first-class centuries, a career-best 182 not out in 2023, and 2,101 runs from 101 T20 matches at a high strike rate, and his departure continues a pattern of player exits as Sussex cuts costs.
