Middlesex are a team on a mission this season following their relegation from the County Championship top-flight in 2023. Can they mount a promotion charge? Middlesex Cricket tickets are on sale to find out.
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 season consigned the Lord’s team to a 2024 campaign in Division Two.
MATCH BUILD-UP
And so the battle to retain their Division One status continues this week against Gloucestershire. The hosts will start as favourites. Led by captain Toby Roland-Jones, Middlesex are in a battle with Sussex at the top of the table at the time of writing. Meanwhile, opponents Gloucestershire are struggling towards the foot of the table, having registered just one win so far.
Leus Du Plooy (the Derbyshire talisman signed for 2024 by Middlesex on a five-year contract) and Ryan Higgins will look to continue their excellent form so far for the Lord’s side.
Eight teams in total feature in Division Two – Middlesex are joined by Derbyshire, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Yorkshire.
