Blackheath Cricket Club will be hosting the first London Floodlit 6s at the
Rectory Field on Friday, August 2.
Last year, this unique six-a-side event proved to be a triumph for the multi-talented Maidstone-based Lashings side, which included former West Indies captain Jimmy Adams, Pakistani pace bowler Shoiab Akhtar, South African Herschelle Gibbs, plus West Indies Test stars Junior Murray and Stuart Williams in its squad.
Invited teams this year include the MCC, a Kent Invitation side, a British West Indies Airlines Invitation team, as well as the cream of club cricket sides in the south Saffron Walden, Finchley and the powerful Teddington Cricket Club.
The list of players participating is a mouth watering prospect for cricket fans. They include Minel Patel, Channel 4 commentator Andy Whittall, South African quickie David Terbrugge, Jason Pooley from Middlesex, seasoned ex-pros in Somerset's Simon Ecclestone and ex-Derbyshire all-rounder Matt Vandrau, as well as the promise of an appearance from one of the West Indian legends, Alvin Kalicharran and Collis King.
