Bowler Sandhu released by Middlesex


Middlesex have released left-arm seamer Gurjit Sandhu.

The Isleworth-born 23-year-old played only five times for the first XI this year, including taking 3-64 in the Royal London One-Day Cup match against Nottinghamshire last month.

However he claimed just two wickets in three T20 Blast matches and has not played in the County Championship in just over a year.

Middlesex director of cricket Angus Fraser said: “Gurjit has worked incredibly hard at his game. He is fit, strong and capable.

“The lack of first-team opportunities has frustrated him and I believe he has the potential to play far more first-team cricket at another club than he has for us.”

Sandhu made his Middlesex debut against the touring Sri Lankans in 2011 and played his first List A game the following year.

In 2013, he made sporadic appearances in both the Championship and the T20 Blast and last year played for Middlesex against India.
