Date released: 21 August 2008

Former England captain Mike Gatting in the Indoor School Looking for a team-bonding experience? A morale booster for your staff? Or just a great evening’s entertainment doing something active, fun and different?

Come and play Indoor Cricket at Lord’s.

Team Composition

Teams can be anything from 5-8 a side so any number of people between 10 and 16 is enough for a game. Players are paired against one another based on ability so there’s no danger of a serious mismatch (or serious injury, to pride or otherwise). Teams can be mixed gender, mixed ability or mixed however you see fit.

Cost

The cost is £364.00 for a 16 over game (8 ball overs), which generally takes 2 hours. This includes the use of half the hall (4 nets) and also includes the services of a scorer / umpire. You can also run 2 simultaneous games side by side, the cost for which is £728.00. We can also help set out an order of play as per the requirements.

Facilities

• The MCC Indoor School will provide the indoor ball and stumps. Players need to provide their own equipment: bats, pads, gloves etc. (Kit can be shared between teams/players)
