Middlesex hand young batsman Dan Lincoln contract for T20 Blast

The 24-year-old right-handed batsman was offered the contract following his brutal innings of 119 from just 53 balls for Middlesex 2nd XI

Middlesex have given young batsman Dan Lincoln a contract for this season's T20 blast competition. 

The 24-year-old right-handed batsman has represented both Berkshire and the Middlesex 2nd XI this season. 

Lincoln was offered the contract following his brutal innings of 119 from just 53 balls for Middlesex 2s. 

"His style of cricket is probably best suited to T20 and he is an outstanding fielder," Middlesex managing director of cricket, Angus Fraser, said.

"With Paul Stirling and Eoin Morgan absent for the next couple of games he will bolster our batting options."

Middlesex will be hoping that the addition of Lincoln will allow them to build on their great start to the campaign, which has seen them defeat Surrey and Essex.

Lincoln will be available to make his debut on Friday night when Middlesex travel to Cardiff to take on Glamorgan.
