Leics Members' Twenty20 Trent Bridge Offer

Date: Thursday 18 December 2008

Leicestershire members have the opportunity to buy tickets in members' seating areas for the ICC World Twenty20 at Trent Bridge in 2009.

The only tournament venue outside of London, Trent Bridge will host a super-eight clash between England and South Africa in the ICC World Twenty20 in June 2009 if both teams qualify from their groups.

The plum fixture is one of 11 games to be played at Trent Bridge which will also host India v Bangladesh, Ireland v Bangladesh, Australia v Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka v West Indies, India v Ireland, three additional super-eight fixtures and the first semi-final.

Lord’s and The Oval will also host fixtures, and a parallel Women’s tournament begins at Taunton on Thursday 11 June with the first semi-final at Trent Bridge.

“Twenty20 has already captured the imagination of the cricket playing world and now I think that it can take over the world,” said powerhouse England batsman Kevin Pietersen.

“It is just getting bigger and bigger and this event could be the biggest of them all. This is so exciting for cricket in this country.”

Members can apply for tickets in the Members' Pavilion or the Larwood & Voce Stand. Adult tickets for the single header fixture between India and Bangladesh on Saturday 6 June cost £20-£25 for adults and £8-£10 for under 16s.
