Dean Elgar and Jordan Cox have become the latest Essex players to be awarded their County Caps.
The pair, who are the 169th (Cox) and 170th (Elgar) Essex players to receive this honour, were presented with their caps during the lunch break on Day One of the home Rothesay County Championship fixture against Hampshire.

Elgar, 38, joined Essex ahead of the 2024 season and has brought vast experience and stability to the top order following his retirement form international cricket. Dean went on to reach 1,000 Championship runs in 2024 and was named Batter of the Year at the Club’s annual player awards.
Wicketkeeper-batter Cox, 24, signed for the 2024 season and has quickly become a key figure in the batting line-up, impressing across red-ball and white-ball formats.
Since joining from Kent, Jordan has scored six first-class centuries for the Club and played international cricket for England.
They join a distinguished group of county-capped players and follow Paul Walter, Matt Critchley and Adam Rossington who were capped in 2023.
