Middlesex Secures Services of Olly Stone on a TemporaryBasis
After a challenging start to the season, fast bowler Olly Stone is set to make his debut for Middlesex in a County Championship match against Derbyshire at Lord's, starting on Monday, September 8, 2025.
The 31-year-old has joined Middlesex on a two-week loan from Nottinghamshire, with the aim of freshening up the fast-bowling unit and aiding his own recovery and preparation for future matches. Stone has been sidelined for the first three months of the 2025 season due to a knee injury, for which he underwent surgical intervention.
Middlesex's director of cricket, Alan Coleman, expressed enthusiasm about Stone's arrival, stating that he is a proven performer at the highest level and will be a valuable addition to the squad. Nottinghamshire's head coach, Peter Moores, also voiced his support for Stone's move, asserting that a fit and firing Stone is an asset for any side.
The move comes at an opportune time for Middlesex, who currently sit in fourth place in Division Two of the County Championship. With the County Championship run-in approaching, the addition of Stone could provide a much-needed boost to their chances of securing a promotion spot.
Stone has had an impressive summer, competing in The Hundred with London Spirit and participating in the T20 Blast for Nottinghamshire. However, as of the provided context, he has not yet played any first-class matches in 2025, nor has it been specified if he has played any first-class matches for Middlesex.
It is not yet clear when Stone will return to Nottinghamshire after his loan period with Middlesex, but Nottinghamshire has expressed a desire to ensure he has the best possible chance to get some miles back in his legs after his impressive white-ball cricket performances this summer.
As Stone prepares to make his Middlesex debut, fans and pundits alike are eagerly anticipating his contribution to the team. With his proven ability and experience, Stone is poised to make a significant impact in the final stages of the County Championship season.
