Middlesex have Hold of Max

MIDDLESEX have handed batsman Max Holden a new three-year contract.

Holden, 19, will now remain at Lords until the end of 2020.

Holden starred on-loan for Northamptonshire last season before making his first-class debut for Middlesex against Hampshire last month.

Managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said: "In 2017 he gave everyone a glimpse of what he is capable of.”
