Wicketkeeper Adam Rossington will not play first-class cricket for Essex this summer after signing a new T20 only contract for the 2025 season.<\/b><\/p>\n
It replaces the final year of the 31-year-old’s previous deal with the club who he joined in 2022, initially on loan.<\/p>\n
Rossington has scored more than 3,500 runs in T20 competitions around the world, with a highest score of 95 and a strike-rate of 145.<\/p>\n
“This was a really difficult decision to take the T20 route. I love playing for Essex, and I want to play as many matches as I can, in as many formats as I can,” Rossington said.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, though, the reality is that I have to consider what’s best for the longevity of my career, and having spent time out injured last year, I believe this is the right call.”<\/p>\n
Rossington, who previously played for Middlesex and Northamptonshire, has recently been involved in the International T20 tournament in Dubai.<\/p>\n
He only played two County Championship games last summer, but was also involved in The Hundred for London Spirit.<\/p>\n
“We completely respect and understand Adam’s decision, with the demands of the modern game now bigger than ever before,” said Essex director of cricket Chris Silverwood.<\/p>\n
“Players have to make choices, however difficult they are, that they feel are right for themselves to prolong their time at the highest level.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
