Nottinghamshire fast bowler Olly Stone is to join Middlesex on loan.

The 31-year-old will join the Lord's based side in time for their Division Two clash with Derbyshire, beginning tomorrow. 

The fixture is set to be the England paceman's first in First-Class cricket since recovering from a knee injury sustained before the start of the English summer. 

He has since made four appearances in the Vitality Blast for Notts Outlaws, and two in The Hundred for London Spirit.

"This is a great opportunity for Olly to get some competitive overs under his belt with the red ball for the first time since the back end of last summer," said Nottinghamshire Head Coach Peter Moores. 

"We're fortunate to have a number of seam bowlers to choose from for our next couple of games, and we want to make sure Olly has the best possible chance to get some miles back in the legs after some impressive spells in white-ball cricket so far this summer. 

"A fit and firing Olly Stone is an asset for any side, and we're sure he'll be well-served by this short spell at Middlesex."
