Nash in 1996

June 26
Nash's contract with Middlesex was terminated and he returned to New Zealand. Nash had played only one or two games for Middlesex in his second year, owing to New Zealand's tour of the West Indies and increasing trouble with his back injury. His injury had not yet been diagnosed, and he departed amid claims in the English media that his problem was in his head, not his back.
