Max Best Harris (born 17 August 2001) is an English cricketer who plays for Middlesex County Cricket Club. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium pace bowler.

Early life

[edit]

Harris was an accomplished tennis player as a youngster but preferred the mate-ship of team sports. He made his debut for the Middlesex academy at 17 years old.[1]

Career

[edit]

Harris played for North Middlesex Cricket Club alongside future Middlesex teammates Ethan Bamber, Joe Cracknell and Luke Hollman. Harris was awarded his first professional county contract in April 2021.[2][3] Harris made his T20 Blast debut for Middlesex against Somerset on 1 July 2022 at Lord's. He took 2 wickets on debut including that of South African international Rilee Rossouw. On his second appearance on the 3 July 2022 against Gloucestershire he again took 2 wickets as he improved his figures to 2/26.[4] Harris made his List-A debut for Middlesex on August 14, 2022, against Somerset and hit the winning runs in a one wicket victory at Taunton.[5] In July 2023, Middlesex announced he was to be released by the county after taking 13 wickets in eight white ball appearances.[6]
