Our next charity #cricket match is taking shape: this September in London! 🇺🇦🏏
The idea is a T20 between a Ukraine Charity XI (as we did for last year's Euro Cup in Warsaw), and a World XI of celebrities and professional cricketers.
So tell us: which stars should we invite to play? Tag them here ⬇️

Maybe it’s coincidence but the last two winners of the @thecricketsociety.bsky.social Book of The Year Award have both visited us in the November before their wins: @listerprod.bsky.social in Nov ‘24 & @rwhitehead2.bsky.social in Nov ‘25.
