A Celebration of Red Ball Cricket

Red ball cricket takes centre stage at Utilita Bowl this August, as Hampshire Cricket celebrates the oldest format of the game during Hampshire’s Rothesay County Championship fixture against Yorkshire.

Taking place across the opening three days of the match, from Thursday 20 to Saturday 22 August, the Celebration of Red Ball Cricket will combine top-level County Championship action with a host of activities celebrating Hampshire’s history, the recreational game and the traditions that make red-ball cricket special.

And with Under-16s going free, it’s a great opportunity to introduce the next generation to first-class cricket.
