According to The Cricketer - Elgar apparantly holds a British passport and therefore doesn't count as an overseas player.🤔

South African captain one week British the next. The counties really take the mickey at times.

Yep appears that is the case.

Below link states Dean Elgar (South Africa as non-overseas)

Absolute bollocks then that Paul Stirling can't play for Middlesex as much as I'm a republican he was born in Britain.

So once he stops playing for Ireland he will be back if he wants a pay day.

Some real competition For places which is a reflection on a good season. The front line batting has been propped up by outstanding first half of the seasons by Bedingham and Robinson with excellent cameos at times by the tail Potts Raine etc. The actual rest of the top order have been average at best but Jones was also the weak link along with Borthwick last season in div 2.
If Ackerman doesnt play they may have to play two spinners (discounting Borthwick inconsistent leggies) as 4 hot days at Chelmsford may lead to a turning wicket. That could give an opportunity to De leede as a seam bowling all rounder who the management clearly rate and to be honest does produce the goods with bat and ball although at times to me looks ordinary.
I think the line up will very much depend on the wicket but i reckon if Ackerman can bowl they probably want him in the side. I would definitely expect De leede and Drissel in the squad with the chance at least one will play.

The possibility of it turning on days 3/4 meant I placed Akkers alongside Clark for the number 6 spot . If Akkers is unfit then go for 4 seamers and Parky 🤔
