<p>India&rsquo;s Cheteshwar Pujara and Pakistan&rsquo;s Mohammad Rizwan on Thursday made their Sussex debut for the game against hosts Derbyshire in the County Championships Division 2 here.</p>
<p>Both were named in the Sussex playing eleven which is captained by Tom Daines. With Derbyshire opting to bat, Pujara and Rizwan are expected to bat on day two.</p>
<p>Both the players stand at the opposite end of their international careers. While Pujara will be aiming to score a bagful of runs to make a Test comeback after being dropped following the tour of South Africa, Rizwan has been one of the best wicketkeeper batters in international cricket over the last couple of years.</p>
<p>&ldquo;To have them [Pujara and Rizwan] around the boys and in the dressing room can only be a positive,&rdquo; said the head coach Ian Salisbury in a team statement.&nbsp;</p>
