Lashings Event - June 2024

Old Albanian Cricket Club will be playing the Lashings International Cricket Squad, dubbed “The Harlem Globetrotters of cricket”, on June 28 2024.

The current squad includes the likes of Sir Curtley Ambrose, Courtney Walsh and Ryan Sidebottom, and as well as the all-star lineup, the match will be commentated on by legendary broadcaster Henry Blofeld.

A spokesperson for the club said: “It’s something we’ve been working on for quite some time and after many background meetings over the last few months we are delighted that we will be hosting such a prestigious event for the local community, businesses and wider cricket family.”

The touring Lashings squad will be at Woollam Playing Fields on Harpenden Road for the whole day, starting in the morning with some coaching and training session with some local youngsters. A large marquee will host a three-course lunch with complimentary wine alongside Lashings players and wrapped up with a live auction.

Following this will be the main event, a Twenty20 match between an Old Albanian XI and the Lashings XI featuring world famous cricketers. This will be supported by a food court and pitch-side bars and entertainment.
