London, Oct 17: Ravi Bopara has ended his 18-year-old association with English County club Essex to join Sussex. Announcing the move in a post on Twitter, Bopara on Wednesday paid tribute to his Essex team-mates and fans, in particular his "best friend" Ryan Ten Doeschate, the club captain alongside whom he has played his entire professional career, as well as Graham Gooch, his "greatest teacher".

His time at Essex spanned 18 years, after making his first-class debut in 2002 at the age of 17.
