Sussex confirm the death of fast bowler Matthew Hobden at the age of 22.

Sussex have announced the death of fast bowler Matthew Hobden at the age of 22.

The fast bowler made his debut for his county in June 2014 and notched up 18 first-class appearances, most recently a one-day match with Essex last August.

In a statement issued late on Saturday, Sussex said: "Sussex Cricket is deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Matthew Hobden.

"Matthew was an exciting young cricketer with a big future ahead of him in the game. He was a fantastic individual who had progressed through Sussex's Youth and Academy ranks, having been born locally in Eastbourne.

"He made his first-class debut for Sussex in 2014 and had represented the county across all three formats over the past two seasons. He will be greatly missed.

"Sussex would like to offer their deepest condolences to Matthew's family and friends at this difficult time.

"Players and staff will be offered as much support as is possible and we would like both Matthew's family, and everyone connected with Sussex Cricket, to be respected with privacy at this time.

"The club will make no further comment at this stage."

Teammate Tymal Mills led the tributes to Hobden on Twitter on Saturday evening.


The cause and circumstances of Hobden's death have not been revealed.
