Stephen Eskinazi will commander Middlesex this season in the four-day 'Bounce Willis Trophy' rivalry. The 26-year-old takes over at an unsettling time for the club, which had initially Australian Peter Hands comb as the four-day and fifty-over commander on a two-year bargain until 2021. 

With the Coronavirus pandemic unleashing devastation across cricket, both strategically just as monetarily; the club as of late chose to concede Hands comb's agreement to 2021-22. Consequently expecting to designate a renewed person in control heading into the vigorously shortened and changed 2020 season. 

Eskinazi assigned for then chief Dawid Malan in the 2019 season with the last since moving base to Yorkshire. It was over the winter after Middlesex completed a modest eighth in Division Two of County Championship. To help resuscitate the group's fortunes, Eskinazi should check upon new bad habit skipper Toby Roland-Jones; who has additionally raised to an influential position following this re-dance. 

Toby is a leader and a much loved and respected member, says Stuart Law

Steve was the conspicuous decision for Stuart Law as the skipper of their crew in Pete Handscomb's nonappearance. A year ago when Steve subbed for them, the group played truly well and with a grin all over and had prompt achievement. Great finishes paperwork without a doubt and Stuart anticipates working with him again this season. Stuart Law is the lead trainer of Middlesex. 

Toby is a pioneer and a much-adored and regarded part of the changing area. Stuart anticipates him driving this gathering in an organization with Steve. And help form this crew into the group they can be.

The Bob Willis Trophy starts on August 1 and has supplanted the conventional County Championship this mid-year because of the effect of Covid-19.
