It’s been a rollercoaster few years for Middlesex Cricket. Division One County Champions in 2016, they suffered a shock relegation the following season. After a five-year absence the team based at Lord’s secured promotion back to the top tier of county cricket in England and Wales in 2022. But life in the top flight only lasted one season after Middlesex were relegated once again. A dramatic two-wicket defeat to Nottinghamshire on the final day of the 2023 season consigned the Lord’s team to Division Two. Having finished third in 2024, this season Middlesex have their sights set on the top-two and a return to Division One.
SEASON SO FAR
Middlesex opened their season with a thrilling match against Lancashire. The action went the four-day distance with both sides seizing the initiative at different stages of the game. Middlesex couldn’t get the two wickets they needed in the final over of the match and an honourable draw was the outcome. Max Holden was the star player against Lancashire. The left-hander followed up his half-century of the first innings with a knock of 184 in the second innings, much to the delight of the Lord’s crowd.
Last time out at Lord’s, Middlesex notched up their first win of the season courtesy of a dominant nine-wicket win over Glamorgan. Holden once again weighed in with the bat scoring 107 as the hosts ran up a first inning score of 470-9 declared.
The 2025 Division Two home campaign for Middlesex against Kent over four days from Friday 2 May. An intriguing battle is in store.
