Rawlins and Archer look ahead to this summer's Vitality Blast

Delray Rawlins has backed Sussex Sharks to continue their recent form in the Vitality Blast when this summer's competition gets underway.

The Sharks topped the South Group last summer – a year after reaching the final – with a mix of entertaining and consistent white-ball cricket that has become the club’s hallmark in recent seasons.

The club open this year’s Blast on Thursday, May 28 when they host Kent Spitfires at The 1st Century County Ground. before the first 'El Clasicoast’ of the season takes place 24 hours later at Hampshire.

Getting off to a fast start will therefore be vital, and Rawlins is confident the defined roles that were established last summer will ensure they hit the ground running.

“Last year definitely we started well and we got on a roll and the players were playing their role to the best of their ability just how the captain and coach asked them,” he said.

“Everything seemed pretty clear for us and we were winning games quite comfortably. We were chasing big scores and bowlers were closing out games if we were bowling second.
