Middlesex CCC have reported an incidence of racial abuse from a visiting spectator at the club's One-Day Cup match against Sussex on Tuesday.
The individual, who is believed to have been there to watch Sussex but is understood not to be a Sussex member, was ejected from the ground at Radlett after the incident.
"Middlesex Cricket is appalled and deeply disappointed to report that during yesterday's game at Radlett, a valuable member of our team was racially abused by an away supporter," a club statement said.
"Middlesex Cricket strongly condemns this behaviour and will work closely with the regulatory body to investigate the perpetrator and support our member of staff."
BBC Sport understands the victim of the abuse was not a Middlesex player.
Middlesex have reported the incident to Sussex and the Cricket Regulator.
A spokesperson for Sussex CCC said: "We are currently investigating the matter and are not in a position to make a comment at this time."
The Cricket Regulator has been approached for comment.
