Middlesex have appointed former England all-rounder Beth Morgan as their first female honorary life vice-president.

Morgan, who helped England win two Ashes series, scored more than 4,000 runs for Middlesex and took 97 wickets.

鈥淗er record as a great cricketer and ambassador for Middlesex and England is beyond question and first and foremost this status reflects that."

Morgan said it was an "amazing honour".

The 38-year-old continued: "It has been an absolute privilege to have the opportunity to be involved with Middlesex for so many years and huge credit has to go to all the women鈥檚 players and staff, past and present, who have done so much to help get women鈥檚 cricket in Middlesex to the exciting place it is in today.鈥
