Middlesex announced today that Ed Smith, their Captain for the past two seasons, is to retire from first class cricket.
Chairman Ian Lovett said that in his four years at the Club Ed had made a huge contribution both as a batsman and a Captain. “Ed has always shown exceptionally high levels of energy, commitment and dedication to everything he does, and having taken over the captaincy when we were at a particularly low ebb on the field, he played a major role helping us achieve markedly improved results which culminated in us winning our first trophy for fifteen years in this year’s Twenty20 competition. He is a man with a wide range of talents and I am sure he will make a great success of his future career.”
Ed Smith said “It has been a real honour to captain Middlesex. I have been very lucky to play first class cricket for eight years at Kent and four years at Middlesex. I’d like to thank all the players, coaches and supporters who have helped me enjoy the game I love. I wish Shaun Udal and the team every success in the future.”
