NINE MIDDLESEX YOUNGSTERS FEATURING IN SUPER 4'S AND BUNBURY FESTIVAL

NINE MIDDLESEX YOUNGSTERS FEATURING IN ECB SUPER 4'S AND BUNBURY FESTIVAL THIS YEAR

This week sees the annual ECB Super 4's competition, and next week the Bunbury Festival, taking place at Loughborough University, and Middlesex have no less that nine players featuring in the annual ECB Regional competitions.

Having been cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, the annual competitions are back this year, and are already in full swing.

The Super 4’s and Bunbury Festival bring together the highest potential young cricketers from across the country for a week of ‘best v best’ competitive cricket between the four Regional sides. Players have been identified by counties and then gone through a selection process in order to be picked to represent one of four regions - London & East, North, South & West and the Midlands.

Both of the festivals this year are taking place behind closed doors.

The Super 4’s competition, which started on Monday and is played through until tomorrow features four talented young Middlesex cricketers, with Daniel O’Driscoll, Atharva Prasad, Nathan Fernandes and Harry Seagrave all representing the London and East region.

The Bunbury Festival, kicks off next week, from Monday 2nd and is played through until Friday 6th August and features Aaryan Sawant, Jay Madan and Dylan Rawal, who will all represent the London and East Region, plus Eddie Campion and Ben Salter, who will represent the South and West region.

Both Campion and Salter joined Middlesex this year from Berkshire - the latest two young cricketers to come into the Middlesex system through the ongoing partnership between Middlesex and Berkshire, which has already seen the likes of Jack Davies and Toby Greatwood earn professional contracts, following in the footsteps of first team regular Martin Andersson, another product of Berkshire to enter the Middlesex system.

We wish all nine players every success on the next step in their cricket development.

Middlesex's Head of Youth Cricket, Rory Coutts, commented:

"Each and every one of the nine young cricketers who have been selected for the ECB regional competitions thoroughly deserve this opportunity,

"In what has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone over the last eighteen months, We have been continually and hugely impressed with the dedication, commitment and passion shown by all the youngsters in our system, and for nine of them to have earned the opportunity to test their abilities against the rest of the countries' best young talent is due reward for all their hard work.

"We are hugely proud of all of our lads for their continued commitment and efforts, and we wish the nine of them at Loughborough all the very best of luck in the competitions - We know they will do themselves and Middlesex Cricket proud."
