Middlesex Women have named a 13-player squad for their upcoming fixture against Northamptonshire Women, with Finty Trussler set to captain the side in the absence of Saskia Horley.
Saskia Horley is unavailable for the fixture, providing Trussler with the opportunity to take on the role of interim captain as Middlesex look to continue their progress in the competition.
Middlesex will be aiming to produce another strong all-round performance against Northamptonshire, with valuable points on offer as the season continues. The squad has shown encouraging signs throughout the campaign and will be eager to build on those performances in the weekend's contest.
There is quality throughout the batting line-up, with wicketkeeper Pippa expected to provide a solid platform at the top of the order alongside Artemis Downer. Riva brings further strength to the batting unit, while captain Trussler, Issy Routledge, Alice Whitmore and Abbie Whybrow provide depth and experience through the middle order.
The Middlesex bowling attack offers a balanced mix of pace and spin. Sonali Patel, Anaya Patel and Rachana Cambampaty provide a variety of options with the ball, while Layla Judge, Lauren Turner and Georgia Irving add further depth to an attack capable of applying pressure throughout Northamptonshire's innings.
Trussler's appointment as interim captain reflects the confidence the coaching staff have in her leadership qualities, and she will be keen to guide the side to a positive result in Horley's absence.
With a talented squad available and an opportunity to secure another important victory, Middlesex will be determined to deliver a strong performance when they take on Northamptonshire this Sunday at Radlett.
