TOBY Roland-Jones says he’s plans to hang up his boots at the end of the season
The veteran quick signed a deal last winter up until at least the end of the current season, so it’s possible he could be about to enter the final month of a 16-year stay with the Lord’s tenants stretching back to 2010.
It’ll be 10 years next month since his famous hat-trick against Yorkshire clinched Middlesex’s first County Championship title for 23 years and he turns 39 over the winter.
A young pack of quicks including Naavya Sharma, Noah Cornwell and Sebastian Morgan are lining to assume his mantle, but Roland-Jones has led from the front again this term, his 3-70 on day one of their current County Championship match with Kent at Merchant Taylors’ School taking him to 29 in the red ball campaign so far, as the visitors finished on 299-6.
