Though Sussex lost in the semi-finals, Wright was the highest run scorer of the season. Wright has also found success in the longer one-day format, achieving 125 against Gloucestershire from 73 deliveries.
Wright appeared for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in April 2008 at the first match of the 2008 county season. During a rain-interrupted second innings, he made 15 runs in the first innings, while Sussex was bowled out for 171.

Wright knocked out 131 deliveries to bring them to 280, sparking rumors about his future in the national team.
England career
Wright competed for England at the Under-17 level. In 2003, he travelled to Australia with the Under-19 team and went back for a hat-trick against South Africa, finishing with match figures of 5/46. In February 2006, he toured the West Indies to support the England A team.
He was named in the preliminary 30-man England squad for the 2007 Twenty20 World Championship in September, having been the best domestic Twenty20 scorer with 346 runs this season, and his selection was announced in the final 15-man squad on August 6th. On September 3, it was announced that he would also serve as a replacement for the injured Ravi Bopara and Andrew Flintoff for the final two matches against India.
In a 106-run 6th wicket stand with Middlesex batsman Owais Shah on September 5, 2007, Wright made his One Day International debut against India at The Oval, London. After facing just 39 balls and getting standing ovation, Wright was run out on 50 by a matter of inches. He was disqualified for a second ball duck in his second match at Lords. Gautam Gambhir was also disarmed by a strong low catch.
Wright was selected for the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa, and played his first match against Zimbabwe on September 13th, where he was essieted behind on this first ball. During the tournament, he scored a number of ducks and single figure, batting at both number 3 and down in the lower order.
Wright was selected for the 2008 Tour to New Zealand, and after impressing with both bat and ball in the two practice matches, he was selected to play in three of the five matches. Wright ran 71 runs at 35.5 runs and sent down five overs at the cost of 28 runs in the ODI series, which England later lost. The final was decided over a tied-ODI, where New Zealand needed seven to win and Wright's bowling only managed six.
He remained a regular member of England's Twenty20 and ODI squads, fighting in homeseries against New Zealand and South Africa in 2008, but he was never promised of a spot in the starting lineup and his position in the batting order was uncertain. In the fall of 2009, he played against Australia in a 6–1 loss and in a surprisingly fruitful campaign at the ICC Champions Trophy, where England defeated the hosts and Sri Lanka before being defeated by 9 wickets against Australia in the semi-finals (in which Wright scored 49 runs, putting on a century friendship with Tim Bresnan). (7) By this time, Wright and Tim Bresnan had formed the highest 7th wicket partnership in ICC Champions Trophy history (107) By this time, he had been in the lower order, where he had to hit quick runs late in the game.
Wright was called up to England's Test squad for the first time in South Africa's winter tour. His appointment was to fill the all-rounder's spot left vacant by Andrew Flintoff's retirement after the 2009 Ashes. "The retirement of Andrew Flintoff has left a hole for an all-rounder in the squad," Geoff Miller, England's selector, said. "While we do not see Luke Wright as a like for like replacement for Andrew, we are excited by the way in which his all-round game continues to develop and that he may have a positive impact at Test level." Wright had been supposed to participate in the first Test, but England decided against 6 batsmen and selected Ian Bell, resulting in a match that ended in a draw.
Wright, however, was a regular on the England one-day squads and was a member of the England Twenty20 squads for both the 2009 and 2010 tournaments, where he was a member of the winning England team.
T20 franchise career
Wright joined the Melbourne Stars in the inaugural Big Bash League in the 2011/2012 Australian season. Wright smashed 117 from 60 orders, including nine sixes and eight fours against the Hobart Hurricanes at Blundstone Arena on January 9, 2010. This was the highest score in Australian domestic Twenty2020 up to D'Arcy Short's 122* in BBL 07, the highest score in BBL 07. Wright and his colleague Rob Quiney put up a 172-run opening stand in a domestic Twenty20 cricket match, the highest for any wicket.
