Behind the launch of the site was Middlesex County Cricket Club’s Managing Director of Cricket, Angus Fraser, who commented.....
“We were really keen to make good use of all the kit that the players no longer needed or have since replaced with new, and setting up this EBAY site not only gives cricket lovers and enthusiasts the opportunity to get their hands on some really great cricket items, but it also allows us to support two incredible charities with some much needed funds.”
“My thanks go to all the players for supporting this venture and for donating all of their used items of kit and of course to anyone who purchases the items we’re putting up for sale. Your support will go a long way to helping our two nominated charities continue the great work they do.”
