Owais Shah has dispelled rumours of switching counties by signing a long-term contract with Middlesex.Shah, who made his debut for the club in 1996, said that the “thought of not playing for Middlesex and not playing at Lord’s was one I couldn’t really come to terms with. With the potential in the current squad, I am sure that we can seriously challenge for honours in the next few years”.Vinny Codrington, the Middlesex chief executive, said: “It is great news that a player as highly regarded as Owais has committed his future to Middlesex. I am sure we can build on the success achieved this year with players of his quality in our side.”Shah, who is currently in his benefit year, is in the England one-day squad who are midway through their series against South Africa.
