“We want to find those who dedicate their time and love to the grassroots game and celebrate their commitment to the sport that so many of us love. The campaign, which is now in its second year saw 11 heroes of grassroots cricket welcomed to Lord’s last June for the first day of the England v Ireland Men’s Test match, watching on from the prestigious President’s Suite.
This year, another team of 11 MCC Community Cricket Heroes will be chosen from the nominations by a special panel including Gatting, MCC President Mark Nicholas, and England star Charlie Dean. The panel will be chaired by former England international and MCC Chair of Cricket, Claire Taylor.
