Eskinazi attended secondary school at Christ Church Grammar School, Perth, later attending the University of Western Australia. He holds British and Australian citizenship.
After a spell with Western Australia under-17s, Eskinazi joined Middlesex in 2013, initially playing for their second team before being awarded a full-time contract in 2014. On 9 September 2015, he made his first-class debut against Yorkshire in the County Championship.
Eskinazi made his List A debut for Middlesex in the 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup on 17 May 2018. He was awarded his county cap by club president John Emburey during the County Championship match versus Derbyshire at Lord's in September 2018.
