Sussex are advertising for a high-level batting coach as they plan for next season.
They are looking for a former first-class or international player with a successful track record as county coach.
The county are keen to up their scoring potential and are expected to sign an overseas run-maker.
The advertisment on sussexcricket.co.uk reads: “A high-profile opportunity has arisen at Sussex Cricket to work as the Performance Lead Batting Coach. The successful candidate will be coaching and developing the batters within the professional, Academy, EPP and Pathway programmes.
“We are looking for a former first-class or international player who holds a minimum of a UKCC3 qualification (ideally, working towards a UKCC4) or international equivalent, and will be able to demonstrate a successful track record in first-class county batting coaching, with experience in the development of emerging young batters.”
Sussex skipper Ben Brown spoke about the importance of a batting coach in the wake of the defeat at Derbyshire which ended Sussex’s promotion hopes.
Mike Yardy and Murray Goodwin have coached the Sussex batsmen in recent seasons.
