Cricket Festival week and Yorkshire Day Match Results 

The Festival Week was a great success for the local community and on Yorkshire Day we sponsored a fantastic match between MCC XI (Marylebone Cricket Club) and a Yorkshire Asian select XI as part of the Bradford Park Avenue Cricket Festival Week, organized by The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation.



The match was filled with excitement and cricket lovers from all around. MCC batted first and scored 190 runs, setting the bar for the Yorkshire Asian 11. Yorkshire Asian 11 then showcased their skills, scoring 191 runs with 5 wickets remaining.

It was a great finish that was enjoyed by everyone. Congratulations to the Yorkshire Asian team for their victory!



We would also like to extend our congratulations to Tawkal Zadran for being named Barrett Steel Man of the Match.

Events like these not only bring communities together but also celebrate the love for cricket in our beloved county of Yorkshire.
