Stuart Law: Middlesex appoint Australian as new head coach

Middlesex have named Stuart Law as their head coach, with the Australian set to leave the same position with West Indies in December.

The former Australia batsman has agreed a four-year deal and will lead the Division Two side in all formats.

The 49-year-old's appointment means Twenty20 coach Daniel Vettori will leave after two seasons with the club.

"It's a privilege to be asked to coach Middlesex and to accept one of the plum jobs in world cricket," Law said.

He will leave his job with West Indies after their tours of India and Bangladesh.

"I have very much enjoyed my time with the West Indies and wish the staff and players every success," Law added.

"There is never a good time to leave but the opportunity to work with Middlesex for four years at the home of cricket was too good to decline."
