WARWICKSHIRE CCC will host the first-ever ‘Bears Red Ball Showcase’ at Edgbaston this summer to celebrate the tradition of county cricket.
The showcase will run throughout Warwickshire’s County Championship game against Hampshire from Friday, May 16 to Monday, May 19.
The Bears hope to attract new fans to the County Championship format with a number of events to take place over the four days.
This includes a schools day, coaching sessions for under-16s, free stadium tours and question and answer sessions with Bears legends.
Warwickshire’s head of member services, Dan Clarke said: “The Bears Red Ball Showcase is a fantastic opportunity for us to celebrate the rich tradition of red-ball cricket in Warwickshire as well as providing family-friendly activities across the four days.
“Our goal is to introduce new cricket fans to the format as well as encouraging all Bears to reconnect with our County Championship team. We will have plenty going on around the ground, from Q and As to free stadium tours.
“Plus there are several internationals set to be in action including our very own Dan Mousley and Sam Hain, also New Zealand Test captain Tom Latham.
“It promises to be a memorable few days of fun and cricket.”
