The fast bowler, who last represented England in 2017, featured in just four County Championship matches last year, as a knee injury hampered his season.

Finn is available for selection ahead of Middlesex’s opening Championship fixture against Northamptonshire on Friday, alongside Toby Roland-Jones, whose 2018 campaign ended in April due to a stress fracture in his back.

Speaking to Adam Collins on The Final Word, Law – who enjoyed stints as a player with Essex, Lancashire and Derbyshire – said of Finn: “I remember facing him and he was like Curtly Ambrose – he bowled fast and on a length that you couldn’t get forward to or go back to.

“For some reason, I think he tried to start swinging the ball. We’ve got him away from that; we’ve got him bowling on that hard length as fast as he can and if it moves slightly away he’s in play, and if it doesn’t – he’s still in the game.”

On the return of Roland-Jones, Law said: “He’s looking very good. He played against Oxford University; he had a good hit out against Hampshire out at Hampshire a couple of weeks ago as well. He’s fit and firing, ready to go – pulled up really after those two games. It looks like he’s ripe for selection come Friday.

“To have him back in the side is outstanding. He’s a champion bloke.”
