Sussex coaches Mark Davies and Carl Hopkinson to switch roles

Robinson will be aided by former all rounder Mark Davis this season

Sussex have announced a coaching swap for the 2012 season with Mark Davis supporting manager Mark Robinson.

Fielding coach Carl Hopkinson will take charge of the second XI.

Robinson said: "We felt that it was important to have a change for the new season as both coaches will benefit from the new responsibilities.

"One thing we are keen to continue is that all of the professional coaches spend enough time in each other's areas," he added.
