Twenty20’s coming to the KC Stadium!

English Cricket received a massive, and very welcome boost last weekend with the introduction of Twenty20 cricket.

Hailed as ‘revolutionary and exciting’, Twenty20 has captured the public’s imagination and it’s coming to the KC Stadium, Hull, on Sunday 13th July (2.30pm) as Yorkshire CCC take on an International XI.

The world-famous Lashings club will be providing the International XI side and already confirmed in their squad for the match are captain Richie Richardson, Australian Mark Waugh and West Indies trio, Jimmy Adams, Junior Murray and Sherwin Campbell.

Realising the game needed younger and more family-orientated spectators passing through the turnstiles Twenty20 was devised by the English Cricket Board.  These 20 overs-a-side matches last under three hours and create an edited, slog-fest version of the one-day game, which has brought this type of spectator flocking to their door.

The Twenty20 event being held at the KC Stadium will provide a fantastic opportunity for those who have never watched a cricket match to get into the game in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, whilst for cricket fans it’s the perfect opportunity to witness some of their cricketing heroes in action at close hand.

Tickets are priced at £10 for Adults, £5 for Concessions and £20 for a Family Ticket (2 adults and 2 children) and are on sale now from the KC Stadium Ticket, or by.

The Rules for this Event

  • 20 overs per side
  • Maximum 4 bowls per over
  • 1 hour 15 minutes to bowl 20 overs
  • Reduction in overs on full over for every full 3.75 minutes lost
  • Timed out – incoming batsman must be in a position to take guard within one minute-thirty seconds of the fall of the previous wicket
  • Fielding restrictions – apply for the first six overs of each innings
  • Free hit after a foot fault no ball
  • One short pitched ball per over is allowed

All the above are standard Twenty20 Rules.  In addition, for this game batsmen may play one joker during their innings to double their score from the net ball. If a no ball this will carry over to the next ball.
