Men\u2019s Head Coach Peter Fulton has named a squad of 13 for this weekend\u2019s Rothesay County Championship clash against Kent in Canterbury.<\/p>\n
There is one change from the squad that beat Worcestershire last weekend, with Naavya Sharma coming in to replace Noah Cornwell. The right-arm quick has featured five times in the Championship so far this season, taking 17 wickets.<\/p>\n
Middlesex will once again be without Ryan Higgins this week, with the all-rounder being ruled out for two months whilst he recovers from a wrist injury.<\/p>\n
Leus du Plooy, who is leading the side, will be looking to continue his form from the first half of the season; he\u2019s struck 600 runs so far this campaign, with two centuries, including an unbeaten 101 last week.<\/p>\n
Zafar Gohar also impressed last weekend, taking 6\/31 to help his side secure victory at New Road. He\u2019ll lead the spin attack in Canterbury this weekend.<\/p>\n
The Division Two table is very tight at the moment, with just four points separating the two sides going into this one. Middlesex are 16 points behind second-placed Northamptonshire. The full table can be viewed below.<\/p>\n
