WicketPulse · 2026-10-06 · Original automated news brief

Paul Farbrace has departed Sussex to assume a new position with Lancashire. The 59-year-old was scheduled to move from head coach to director of cricket at Sussex in November. He has instead joined Lancashire, where he will take over from Mark Chilton, who left the club last month. Chilton had held the director role for five years.

Lancashire's recent season saw them finish seventh in Division Two of the County Championship, their lowest position in club history. Farbrace's appointment comes as the club seeks to strengthen its cricket operations. His move follows confirmation from Sussex in July that he would take on the director role at Hove from November.
