England and Middlesex batsman Eoin Morgan handed new contract

Eoin Morgan has signed a new two-year contract with Middlesex.

The England batsman made his debut for the club in 2004 and has attracted plenty of interest after his international breakthrough this year.

Morgan said: "I am delighted to continue my career at Middlesex.

"I started my association with Middlesex County Cricket Club as a sixteen year old, and the Club have played a major role in me getting to where I am now.

"The future of the Club looks very healthy and I am looking forward to playing my part when my England commitments allow."

Middlesex have also agreed a deal to sign Derbyshire batsman Chris Rogers. The 33-year-old Australian will be their registered overseas player.

In other news, batsman Owais Shah will be released by the County Championship Two side at the end of the season.
