Sussex sign Jake Weatherald for 2019 season

Sussex have announced the signing of SA Redbacks and Adelaide Strikers batsman Jake Weatherald for their 2019 campaign.

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the hottest batting prospects in Big Bash League. He scored a match-winning century (70-ball 115) in the BBL in February 2018.


The highly-rated opening batsman has been one of the most dominant batsmen in Australia since his debut 2015/16 season. In first-class cricket, he scored 270 runs at 38.57 (2015/16), 634 runs at 31.70 (2016/17), 765 runs at 38.25 (2017/18).

Weatherald follows in the footsteps of Sam Whiteman, Jeet Raval, Keshav Maharaj, SJ Erwee, Will Somerville and Jordan Silk, to name but a few of Cuckfield’s signings over the years.
