I'm going to Chelmsford for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this game (if it goes that far). Anyone else going and want to meet up?
Apparently Lord’s is unavailable - but their relationship with the MCC is a bit rocky and they’ve been threatening to move elsewhere so I wonder if that has something to do with it.
Excellent news as Luc Benkenstein has signed a deal until the end of the 2027 season.Robin Das has signed a 2 year deal to stay with Essex
Froze Khushi and Charlie Allison have also signed deals for 2024 season.
Dean Elgar is rumoured as Alastair Cook’s replacement.

I’d therefore expect us to line up something like this in the Championship

2. Browne
3. Westley
4. Cox
5. Critchley
6. Walter
7. Rossington
8. Harmer
9. Snater
10. Cook
11. Porter
With Browne and Snater’s places up for grabs pre-season. Not sure if there’s budget for one more signing if Cook is replaced by an overseas player.
What's happened to Khushi? He started the FC season opening, then got injured and hasn't been seen since...Excellent news as Luc Benkenstein has signed a deal until the end of the 2027 season.
He was one I was worried about losing with Harmer and Critchley potentially blocking his opportunities as a spinner.
Hopefully Charlie and Ben Allison and Noah Thain are locked up long term as well.
The other one I worry about is Feroze Khushi. Wouldn’t be surprised if he sees his future away from Essex. Don’t think he’s been given the opportunities he should have.
Has had a spell on loan at Kent, I believe.What's happened to Khushi? He started the FC season opening, then got injured and hasn't been seen since...

He played for Essex against Suffolk yesterday.What's happened to Khushi? He started the FC season opening, then got injured and hasn't been seen since...
Cox and Walter - although Cox is on England duty anyway.how many players are we missing now (being away with The Hundred)?!? Cook, Critchley, Pepper, Rossington.
