Stevie Eskinazi is a wicketkeeper-batsman at Middlesex. Born in South Africa, raised in Australia and living in England, this young batsman is becoming one of the most promising batsmen in the country.

He played for Hampshire junior sides while his family lived in the south of England before they moved to Perth, where he played for Western Australia U-17s and U-19s. His professional opportunity in English cricket came when he joined Middlesex, where he made his first-class debut against Yorkshire in September 2015.

The following summer he made a maiden first-class century against Lancashire and produced a memorable 157 a week later to lead Middlesex to an innings win over the defending champions Yorkshire, a crucial moment in Middlesex’s eventual title win.

In June 2021, during the 2021 T20 Vitality Blast, Stevie scored his first century in a T20 match, with an unbeaten 102 runs.
