Ali Orr signs contract extension


Sussex County Cricket Club | 28th October, 2021

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce that batter Ali Orr has signed a multi-year contract extension with the club.

The 20-year-old pathway product enjoyed a superlative debut season after signing his first professional contract in April.

In seven Championship matches, Ali scored over 500 runs at an average of nearly 40, including four fifties and a maiden first-class century against Kent in just his third appearance.

He formed a formidable partnership at the top of the order with Tom Haines. The pair’s opening stands averaged over 60 and they added over 100 runs together on three occasions.

Ali also showed significant promise in white-ball cricket, averaging almost 30 in the Royal London Cup and scoring a century in the match against Worcestershire.

Part of the Sussex Cricket pathway since the age of nine, Ali is a former pupil of Bede’s School and plays his club cricket at Eastbourne CC.
