Former England batsman Dawid Malan has signed a new long-term contract with Middlesex which will keep him at the county until at least 2021, along with being awarded a testimonial year in 2019.

The Middlesex captain made his debut for the county all the way back in 2006 and has gone on to make over 350 appearances in all three formats.

The 31-year-old made both his Test and T20I debut for England in 2017, and last played for his country in the first Test of their series against India in April.

He sits at number 160 in the T20 Player Index, having dropped from number 96 over the past 12 months, and will be hoping to climb up the standings during his Testimonial Year.

"I am very pleased to have extended my contract with Middlesex and feel honoured to have been granted a testimonial," he said.

"The club has become my cricketing home in every sense, and everybody – staff, coaches, teammates and members can rest assured that I will be giving everything to represent Middlesex well and to bring success on the field.

"There is a sense of energy around the club, and I believe that 2019 will be a great year for us all.”

Angus Fraser, the managing director of cricket added: "I am delighted that Dawid has committed his future to Middlesex Cricket and the award of a testimonial year is a fitting reward for the commitment he has given and performances he has produced since 2006.

"Dawid is a hugely important figure at Middlesex and has been one of our most consistent and outstanding performers. He is a high-quality cricketer and has much to offer Middlesex, and still potentially England."
