Middlesex sign Aussie star Marsh

-

Middlesex have signed Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh for their Vitality Blast campaign.

The 29-year-old, who has extensive experience in Australia's Big Bash League and the Indian Premier League, was supposed to head to the club last season only for the coronaviru­s pandemic to scupper the venture.

But he is set to arrive at Lord's in early June and will be available for the entirety of the group stages of the domestic Twenty20 competitio­n, with the provision to extend his stay if Middlesex reach the knockout rounds.

"I'm thrilled to be joining Middlesex again, a club with such rich history," said Marsh, who has played in 32 Tests, 60 oneday internatio­nals and 15 T20s.

"I can't wait to get over and join my team-mates and hopefully win some silverware for the club."

Marsh joins young Afghanista­n spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman as the club's two overseas signings for the competitio­n.
