Bamber has played in three County Championship matches so far this season, he is likely to start for Gloucestershire against Leicestershire in the opening match at The Fergal O'Brien Cheltenham Cricket Festival tomorrow (Monday 15 July).

He has made three further Championship appearances in 2019 and has taken another three wickets.
Gloucestershire Head Coach, Richard Dawson said:
"We are delighted to have Ethan in the squad, He played against us last week so we already know how we can potentially ustilise him."

“Middlesex want our young cricketers to get as much first team experience as possible, so when Gloucestershire approached us about the possibility of Ethan playing for them, it was a pretty simple decision.
