Matches with the England seniors and King Charles’ squad are on the agenda for the Vatican cricket team, which arrives in the UK on Friday.The Vatican cricket team is en route to London for its tenth ‘Light of Faith’ tour.
The aim of this year’s trip is, as always, to promote dialogue and friendship between the Catholic Church and the host country. A post on the team's social media pages speaks of"spreading the message of friendship, unity, and gospel hope." As the team’s director, Fr Eamonn O’Higgins, reminded the team at a meeting in Rome prior to departure, they may well be the only Catholic priests that many of those they interact with will ever meet.The Vatican squad – officially The Vatican Cricket Team – is part of Athletica Vaticana, an umbrella organisation bringing together all the Vatican’s athletes.
“In the particularly dark historical moment we are living,” the Pope said, “sport can build bridges, break down barriers, and foster peaceful relations.”On Saturday, June 29, they have their first two matches, both against the England Over 60s at Wormsley Estate.
