Click here for more information about this event

West Indian legend Brian Lara will captain a team of players including Andrew Strauss against his former Warwickshire team-mates in a match organised to raise funds for the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation.

The game will take place at Wormsley Cricket Ground on 14th September to raise funds for the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Federation (RCSF), of which Lara is a patron.

"I’ve seen the enthusiasm for the game in Rwanda
and there is plenty of natural talent” He said . “It’s vital that we support the Rwandan Cricket Association in harnessing that talent as we believe sport can help build the incredible progress the country has made in the last twenty years. The stadium will create a lasting legacy for the game in this wonderful country."

To support this worthy cause, please come and join us on Sunday 14th September
