Leicestershire County Cricket Club to visit Anguilla

Leicestershire County Cricket Club is to visit Anguilla from the 29th of March to the 7th of April on a pre-season tour. Leicester, which is one of England's premier clubs, is following in the footsteps of Yorkshire and Hampshire County Cricket Clubs who have visited Anguilla in the past.

The tour, which has been organised in an effort for Leicestershire to gain some match practice before their grueling six month season in England, is being co-hosted by the St.Maarten Cricket Association who will also stage one 1-day match on the second of April. The other matches, which will all be played at the RWP, include a 2 day match and two 1-day matches against the Anguilla side. Leicester CCC are an extremely strong side and showcase talent such as Chris Lewis, Aftab Habib, Vince Wells and Phillip DeFreitas, all of whom have played for England before.
