Middlesex faces Glamorgan at Lord`s, while England`s selectors focus on player development ahead of the Ashes series.

Middlesex is set to face Glamorgan in the Rothesay County Championship Division 2 match on April 18, 2025, at the iconic Lord`s Cricket Ground in London. This four-day encounter marks their third clash of the season, with Middlesex naming a squad of thirteen players eager to secure a vital win.

In a recent match, the England Second XI showcased their talent against Hampshire, where Ben Martindale and another player delivered impressive unbeaten half-centuries, leading the game to a draw on April 17, 2025, at Trent Bridge. This performance highlights the depth of talent emerging in English cricket.

On the national team front, England cricket selector Luke Wright has been vocal about the player selection process, emphasizing the significance of technique, character, and performance in county cricket. Players such as Harry Brook, Gus Atkinson, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, and Essex seamer Sam Cook are pivotal figures as the squad prepares for the upcoming Ashes series later this year. Wright pointed out that character and mental resilience are essential, citing Zak Crawley`s strong performances against top teams as a reason for his continued selection despite recent challenges.

The England home summer schedule is set to kick off with a four-day Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge starting on May 22, 2025, promising an exciting season ahead for fans and players alike.
