Middlesex have extended the contract of right-arm seamer Ishaan Kaushal.

The 21-year-old has one year remaining on his rookie contract and will then be promoted to a professional deal until the end of the 2026 season.

Kaushal made his debut last season, making five appearances in the One-Day Cup and claiming three wickets.

“He is fast becoming a player that will challenge for a regular place,” Middlesex director of cricket Alan Coleman told the club website.

“We are thrilled with the progress that Ishaan continues to make. It’s always hugely satisfying when you see a product of your own academy developing into a fine young cricketer, and Ishaan has all the attributes needed to become a fine pace bowler in years to come.

“He works hard at his game and is keen to learn from the more senior players within the group, which will stand him in terrific stead moving forward.

“He made an encouraging start to life as a first XI cricketer in 2023 and we are very much looking forward to seeing his game continue to develop over the next three years.”

Kaushal took one wicket, and was the unbeaten batter, on his debut in a dramatic three-run defeat by Essex at Chelmsford in August.

“I am incredibly happy and grateful to sign an extension with Middlesex – my childhood club,” Kaushal said.

“I’ve been here since I was 12 and it’s a dream come true to play at Lord’s.”
