England Mixed Disability T20s in Derby this week!

A reminder that The OurCoop County Ground will host two matches from this summer’s Vitality Mixed Disability IT20 series between England Men and India Men this week.

The fixtures will take place on Wednesday 5 and Friday 7 August (both 2.30pm scheduled starts, with gates opening at 1.30pm) and entry will be free for all spectators.

On-site parking will also be free, while the Members Lounge in the Monarch Security Pavilion will be open for all spectators, providing hot and cold refreshments, as well as light snacks. Spectators are permitted to bring their own food for these fixtures.

The two teams met last summer in the inaugural international series of Mixed Disability cricket, with England coming out on top. Captain Callum Flynn and his teammates continued their winning run in India this winter in a hotly contested affair.

The Mixed Disability format sees players from the Physical Disability, Learning Disability and Deaf teams coming together to form one team. Last summer’s series trialled the format at international level with a number of nations interested in engaging in future series.
