Middlesex and Surrey: Match preview

8 Jun 2023

The Sharks are back in Blast action with two games in two days, starting tonight with a trip to Lords to take on Middlesex, before returning to The 1st Central County Ground in front of a sell-out crowd against Surrey. 

Paul Farbrace has initially named a 13-player squad for both games.

Squad

Alsop, Bopara, Burgess, Clark, Coles, Crocombe, Foreman, Hudson-Prentice, Ibrahim, Karvelas, Khan, McAndrew, Mills

Farbrace's thoughts

"We know we have a lot of work to do and every game is chance to snap out of our poor run, stay fully committed to our plan and enjoy playing the game. 

"It has been hugely disappointing so far, no excuses, and we have maintained an excellent level of honesty in the whole group including the coaches. 

"With two games in two days it's not a time for feeling sorry for ourselves, it’s an opportunity to free up and enjoy the chance to have fun playing the game we love."

Middlesex vs Sharks is live on Sky Sports Cricket

Tonight's Blast match against Middlesex will not be available on our livestream as it will be broadcast on Sky Sports Cricket from 6:15pm, when the first ball is bowled.

How to watch Sharks vs Surrey
