Delray Rawlins

A highly rated allrounder, Delray Rawlins announced himself with a series of eye-catching innings in Sussex's T20 middle-order, and his clean hitting, useful fingerspin, and superb fielding make him a desirable all-round package across formats.

Rawlins initially came through the Bermuda system as a talented left-arm spinner, first representing his country as a 15-year-old in 2013, and took 5 for 51 on his Under-19 debut a few months months later. By then, he had landed a scholarship to attend St Bede's School in Eastbourne, starting him on the road to an academy contract at Sussex. He continued to develop as an allrounder during his teenage years, and launched his England U-19 career in January 2017 by scoring an unbeaten 107 off 88 balls and taking 2 for 46 on in Mumbai.

He caught the attention of the wider cricketing public in the 2018 T20 Blast, hitting 49 on debut at Lord's before playing the shot of the summer, a jaw-dropping straight drive, against Durham in the quarter-finals.

In 2019, Rawlins balanced county cricket with his Bermuda commitments, hitting his maiden first-class ton at Old Trafford from 99 balls. Although his returns over the next couple of years were patchy, he made 91 and took 3 for 50 to against Gloucestershire as Sussex reached the semi-finals of the 2022 Royal London Cup, finishing the season with 14 wickets.

On a tour of Argentina in 2023, he made back-to-back scores of 91, 59 not out and 67 not out for Bermuda. Later that year, he ended his contract with Sussex, stating his desire to spend time at home as the reason.
