Commenting on extending his contract, White said: "I’m delighted to have signed an extension for the next three years with Middlesex - a club I’ve played for since I was nine years old and am incredibly proud to represent.

"Whilst results haven’t been good enough over the last few years, there’s a great excitement working towards next season and I’m hoping to play my part in moving the club forward and achieving success and silverware in the coming seasons."

Alan Coleman, head of men’s professional cricket at the club, added: "In the last eighteen months, Robbie’s quality as a batter has really shone through in first team cricket. He has excelled in tough situations and shown great character and composure to succeed at those times.

"He is a leader and well respected in the changing room, and I am excited to watch him continue to progress in first team cricket during the next three seasons."
