Middlesex will once again be playing First XI fixtures in the Watford area next season, the County Cricket Club have confirmed.

The 2015 LV= County Championship Division One runners-up are due to face Hampshire in the four-day competition at Merchant Taylors’ School from Sunday, May 29 to Wednesday, June 1 and will remain there for their NatWest T20 Blast match against Gloucestershire on Thursday, June 2.

The following week Middlesex are set be in action at Radlett CC, the home of their Second XI, for another fixture against Hampshire, this time in the Royal London One-Day Cup on Tuesday, June 7.

Both venues played host to Middlesex fixtures last season, with the Northwood school also hosting the Australian Test side for training prior to their Ashes defeat against England.
