Middlesex\u2019s 2026 Vitality Blast campaign gets underway this weekend with the visits of Kent Spitfires and Surrey to Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Men\u2019s Head Coach, Peter Fulton, has named a squad of 13 for both clashes at the Home of Cricket this weekend. Matt Boyle comes straight into the squad after joining the club earlier today. The overseas signing will represent Middlesex for the duration of the Vitality Blast this year.<\/p>\n
Adam Rossington, who joined the club for the first six games of the campaign, features in a Middlesex squad for the first time since 2014 and will have the gloves this weekend.<\/p>\n
Middlesex will be without Ben Geddes and Naavya Sharma this weekend after their call-up to the England Lions squad. We wish both players all the best as they take on South Africa A in two four-day matches later this month. <\/p>\n
Middlesex\u2019s two young all-rounders, Caleb Falconer and Sebastian Morgan, both feature in the squad and will provide captain Leus du Plooy with power-hitting down the order and a variation of bowlers. <\/p>\n
Tom Helm, who took 20 wickets last year and was Middlesex\u2019s leading wicket taker in the competition, will likely lead the pace attack this weekend. He\u2019ll have Eathan Bosch, Noah Cornwell and Ryan Higgins in support. Zafar Gohar and Luke Hollman lead the spinners; Josh de Caires and Leus du Plooy are able to offer support should they be needed. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s a tough start to the campaign for Middlesex, with both of this weekend\u2019s opponents qualifying for the knockout stages of the Blast last year.<\/p>\n
