MCC v ESCA

MCC Schools take on ESCA in a 50 over match on Friday 8 September

The MCC Schools players are primarily being selected from schools who played in MCC Out-Matches this summer. In the past the ESCA side comprised of players from the previous year’s Bunbury Festival.

This will be the thirteenth year that this game has taken place and the first since the death of the driving force behind the fixture, David English.

A number of boys from both sides previously are, only one or two years later, playing County and International Cricket, most notably Ollie Pope, Zak Crawley, Harry Brook, Dom Sibley and Reece Topley. London Spirit’s Mason Crane, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Adam Rossington, Chris Wood and Dan Lawrence also played in the fixture over the years – often in their first outing at Lord’s.

The match is due to begin at 10.45am.
