Former England batsman Mark Ramprakash has returned to Middlesex as their new batting coach.
The 43-year-old, who retired as a player earlier this year, has been working as a batting coach alongside Graham Gooch with England on their tour of India.
Ramprakash signed for Middlesex as a 17-year-old trainee in the late 1980s and is the most recent cricketer to have scored 100 first-class centuries, joining the great Sir Vivian Richards on 114 in total.
In first-class cricket Ramprakash scored more than 35,500 first-class runs, putting himself in the 50 highest-scoring cricketers of all time.
During 11 years as an England player, he played 52 Test matches, scoring two centuries and 12 half-centuries, and amassed a total of 2350 runs.
Ramprakash replaces Mark O’Neill, who has opted to return to Australia.
