The 33-year-old has been absent for much of the summer with England, but made three appearances earlier this year, contributing just 60 runs with a top score of 26.

Strauss and his fellow Middlesex players will line-up against future teammate Chris Rogers, who will open the Derbyshire innings.

Rogers, 33, will be hoping to impress at the ground where he will play his cricket from next summer after announcing his decision to move counties at the end of August.

Advantage Derbyshire

Derbyshire triumphed over Middlesex when the sides met in August, winning by 81 runs on the Duckworth Lewis Method at the County Ground, Derby.

In a day-night encounter the hosts made 192-7 from 38 overs with Wayne Madsen starring with an unbeaten 71.

Middlesex struggled in reply, with captain Nick Dexter making 30 as they were bowled out for 110 inside 28 overs.

Last Hurrah

Both sides have had disappointing CB40 campaigns this summer, with Derbyshire sitting one position above eighth place Middlesex in the Group B table.

Neither the hosts nor their opponents are in the mix to to make the final at Lord’s on September 18 but will be desperate to end their limited overs summer on a high.
