To address some of the speculation and questions that have arisen among Members and the wider public surrounding the current situation with Leus du Plooy, Director of Cricket, Alan Coleman, has recorded a short interview providing further context and clarification.

As a Club, we are committed to keeping our Members informed of significant developments wherever possible before they become the subject of media speculation.

Unfortunately, the article published on 5 September appeared before we had the opportunity to communicate directly with Members. As a result, some Members may have first become aware of the news regarding Leus du Plooy through external sources.

Middlesex Cricket can confirm that captain Leus du Plooy will be unable to play for the Club following clarification of his playing registration status under ECB. The club remains in discussions with ECB and PCA around this issue.

Last week, following an article in the press, the Club confirmed that Leus had declared his intention to pursue an opportunity to play international cricket for South Africa. The Club has now been made aware that, under ECB regulations, a player who has declared an intention to play for another country is classified as an overseas player for domestic cricket purposes.

As a result, Leus is required to be registered as an overseas player in order to continue playing for Middlesex. The deadline for the registration of overseas players for the 2026 season was Sunday, 6 September, meaning that it is now not possible for the Club to register Leus and select him for the remainder of the season.
