“I am delighted to be back with the Sussexes for the 2023 season. I thoroughly enjoyed my last stint with the club last season, both on and off the field and I look forward to contributing to the team’s growth and success in the coming year.” Looking forward to it,” Pujara said in a statement issued by the county.
Sussex Performance Director, Keith Greenfield, said: “It’s great news that Cheteshwar will return in 2023, the class we all showed with his bat and his performances, but he also excelled in our youth dressing rooms as world class. He was a role model to follow.”
