Pre-Match Pack: Middlesex (H)

Derbyshire have named a 13-player squad for the Vitality County Championship fixture against Middlesex at The County Ground tomorrow (10.30am).

Martin Andersson is ineligible to play against his parent club, with Yousaf Bin Naeem and Mitch Wagstaff named in the squad.

England Under 19s international, Harry Moore, is once again included in the squad, having picked up three wickets last time out on first-class debut.

Derbyshire will be aiming to bounce back after last week’s defeat against Northamptonshire, as the side host promotion-pushing Middlesex in the last home fixture of 2024.

The Opposition

After suffering defeat last time out to Gloucestershire, Middlesex’s promotion push has taken a bit of a dent. They currently sit in third place, 15 points behind Yorkshire.

Captain Toby Roland-Jones will be looking to lead the bowling attack for his side, having claimed 42 wickets at an average of 25.64 this season.

All-rounder Ryan Higgins has excelled with bat and ball again this season. The right-arm seamer has picked up 29 wickets to go alongside 1089 runs with the bat, including five centuries. This total sees him in second place for the most runs in Division Two, behind Glamorgan’s Colin Ingram.
