Fraser in demand by Middlesex
By Julian Guyer
MIDDLESEX are willing to make Angus Fraser the highest-paid
player in their history in a last-ditch effort to keep him at
Lord's.
England's most popular cricketer will be offered £75,000, double
his current salary, to stay another season. Middlesex are
desperate to keep 33-year-old Fraser, who is looking for a salary
to reflect his Test achievements.
Worcestershire are keen to prise Fraser away from Lord's, but the
player said last night: "Contrary to reports, I haven't quit the
club. I'm going to consider my options over the winter. When I do
make my mind up Middlesex CCC will be the first to know. It's
true I'm seriously considering my position, but I haven't made my
mind up yet."
Middlesex, who have already made Fraser an offer, said in a
statement last night: "We have reiterated our commitment and
desire to keep Angus at Middlesex."
