Shocking decision….
Hope you spend your 30 pieces of silver wisely.
May it be freezing cold and rain heavily for those 3 fixtures and may the groundsman for the away fixture (s) produce a lovely green top that will swing massively. COYB 🐻

Sussex County Cricket Club. Traitors of English Cricket

There's no way an Oz state would let Root etc play in a few Sheffield Steel games prior to an Ashes series

— Mark Welburn (@MrWelburn) January 19, 2023

I’m guessing this is to help condition himself for the English summer and to have practice against @JofraArcher

I don’t think @englandcricket will be pleased.

Strange decision to allow him that opportunity.

So you are going to help him prepare for the Ashes!! It beggars belief. Can you imagine an Australian State team affording an England batsman a similar opportunity?

— John Stephen (@JohnJSSTFC) January 19, 2023

No chance he cares about anyone else but himself ! 3 games he isn’t there to help others. Plus yes imagine what he will do this time after more practice in England. Aussies would never allow root to play Sheffield shield cricket.

Cheers Sussex for giving a nice platform to the aus number 3 to score even more runs against us. Nice one

A joke of a decision, to only benefit the Aussies.

One of the most anticipated ashes series in recent years and we are giving Steve Smith a chance to find form leading up to it for 3 county championship games.

Whose decision was this?!

— Kevin Ticehurst (@Brightonfan) January 19, 2023

Ridiculous

Could you imagine an Australian state giving Joe Root the same opportunity ahead of an Ashes series?

Strange decision. I’m sure Lewis is thinking of a funky field to get him out as we speak

— Joe Broadbent (@broadbean91) January 19, 2023

A cheat and a decision that only helps the Aussies in the Ashes. Baffling

— Simon Rusbridge (@SimonRusbridge) January 19, 2023

Good opportunity for him to acclimatise to English pitches. Baffling indeed.

— Robert Gilbert (@thegilbertros) January 19, 2023

Absolutely ridiculous
ECB need to put a stop to this
