Cricket superfan and McFly drummer, Harry Judd, visits Lord's to champion first-ever Women's Test match at the iconic sporting venue

Harry Judd, McFly drummer, father of three and life-long cricket fan, visited Lord's Cricket Ground to encourage families and those new to cricket to attend the Rothesay Women's Test match between England and India at the Home of Cricket.

During his visit, Harry met with London Spirit cricketers Lucy Higham and Josie Groves to chat about what makes a day at Lord's so special and how the Women's Test match is the perfect opportunity to experience the excitement of women's cricket in such an iconic and accessible venue. 

Harry said: "There really is nothing like this. You don't have to know everything about cricket. It's all about being part of the crowd and experiencing those moments. Come in, soak up that festival atmosphere, and learn as you go."

Starting on Friday 10 July, Lord's will host the Rothesay Women's Test match as England take on India and with over 30,000 tickets sold, the match is already breaking attendance records.

Held over four days, the Test has something for the whole family. With tickets starting at £20 for adults and £5 for under-16s, it's one of the most affordable ways to watch world-class international cricket at Lord's this year, as well as enjoying everything that the Ground has to offer, including free kids cricket taster sessions, musical entertainment and much more.

The Test is the centrepiece of a landmark summer for women's cricket at Lord's, with four ICC Women's T20 World Cup matches this summer, including the final on Sunday 5 July.

Harry spent the morning with London Spirit cricketers Lucy Higham and Josie Groves. Higham has spent over a decade in the women's game, while Groves signed her first professional contract in 2023 and represented England's Under-19s.

The pair put Harry's cricket knowledge to the test, quizzing him on the ways in which a batter can be dismissed, with Harry naming an impressive ten ways to get out. The three then joined a fun and energetic grassroots cricket session with local schoolchildren, proving that no matter your age, knowledge or background in the game, cricket can be enjoyed by everyone.

After the experience, Harry is looking forward to bringing his own children to the Test this summer, sharing his love of the game with this his next generation. 

Katie Maier, Chief Marketing Officer at MCC, commented: "This summer, Lord's is at the centre of a new chapter in women's cricket, with the first ever Women's Test match and we want as many families and people new to cricket as possible to be part of this special event. Harry has shown that cricket is for everyone, and this perfectly captures what the occasion is all about. You don't need to be an expert to walk through the gates and have an incredible day. Come along, bring your friends and family and be part of sporting history."

Whether you're a lifelong cricket fan or have never watched a match in your life, come to Lord's and experience it for yourself. Tickets are available across Days One to Four.
