Paul Farbrace: Sussex appoints former England assistant as head coach

Farbrace worked alongside England head coach Trevor Bayliss from 2015 to 2019.

He then left for Birmingham to become sporting director of Warwickshire, but announced his departure in August after three years at the helm.
Meanwhile the Bears, coached by former Sussex and England women's coach Mark Robinson, won the County Championship in 2021 before successfully avoiding relegation on the final day last season in a near-miraculous escape.
Farbrace also won the T20 World Cup in 2014 when was the head coach of Sri Lanka.
"We should focus on developing our own"
Farbrace, whose stepson - England pacemaker Ollie Robinson - plays in Hove, joins a band widely young, developing Sussex side playing their red ball cricket in Division Two.
" Sussex has produced many fantastic players," said Farbrace.
"We should be very focused on developing our own players, as well as developing players to play for England at all levels, as well as win trophies for members and the club."
He will be looking to revive the fortunes of a county that hasn't won any silverware since winning multiple trophies in the 2000s.

They were county champions in 2003, 2006 and 2007, won the C&G Trophy in 2006 and the Pro 40 in 2008 and 2009, when they also won the T20 Blast, the last of seven trophies in as many of seasons.
Sussex chief executive Rob Andrew said: "Paul's full experience is exactly what we were looking for when we made the decision to go back to one head coach for all formats.
"He shares the club's ambitions to produce our own players, develop players for England and win trophies for Sussex.
"We have a very exciting few years ahead of us as we see talented young players develop."
In addition to the now retired Robinson, Jofra Archer and Luke Wright, Sussex provided a series of England signings in recent seasons.
Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills and Phil Salt, now with Lancashire, were all in England's victorious World T20 team victory.
Warwickshire have said they hope announce Farbrace's replacement at Edgbaston next week.
