Men’s head coach Peter Fulton has named a squad of 14 for tomorrow’s Vitality Blast clash against Surrey at the Kia Oval.
Ben Geddes is the only addition to a team that is otherwise unchanged since our loss to the Hampshire Hawks on Sunday. He returns after a stint with the England Lions in their two-game series against South Africa A. Naavya Sharma, who also played for the England Lions, will not be present tomorrow night.
Leus du Plooy’s side will be looking for revenge after Surrey emerged victorious in the first leg at Lord’s 10 days ago. Sam Curran’s unbeaten knock of 71 was enough to take his team to a six-wicket victory at the Home of Cricket.
Max Holden and Adam Rossington are likely to open for Middlesex in the London Derby. The pair sit first and second on the Seaxes’ career charts so far in this competition. Josh de Caires, who scored an unbeaten 80 at Hove on Saturday night, is likely to bat at three.
With Geddes returning to the team, Fulton could look to mix up his middle order, with du Plooy, Falconer, Higgins and Hollman making the trip south of the river.
Tom Helm and Noah Cornwell will likely lead the seam attack tomorrow night, with Eathan Bosch, Blake Cullen, Ryan Higgins and Sebastian Morgan available to support. Zafar Gohar and Luke Hollman will be the spinners for Middlesex.
Middlesex currently occupies fifth place in the South Group, with four points. Our opponents are in third place with eight points.
The match is scheduled to start tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. You can also stay updated via our social media channels throughout the night.
