SOME OF the biggest cricket names in the world will descend on St. Kitts in August.

Legends, Sir Ian ‘Beefy’ Botham and Brian Lara, together with media personality, Piers Morgan, have teamed up with the Limacol Caribbean Premier League to announce Beefy’s Bash, an all-star charity T20 game to take place at Warner Park, St.Kitts, on August 12.

The match will bring together a host of celebrity personalities, past and present cricket stars, and will form part of an exciting week in St.Kitts, building up to the final of the Limacol CPL 2014 on August 16.

Both Lara and Botham have been designated as captains for the two teams, and have issued a call to arms to cricketing superstars, personalities and fans across the world to take part.

Trinidad-born Lara said of the event: "I’ve seen first-hand the impact CPL has had on the region.

“Players and fans love it, it’s great for our up and coming talent, and it provides an economic boost as well.

He continued: "I’ve always believed in the importance of giving back to the Caribbean, and this match will be a great way to do that.

“It’s going to be fun to play with and against some old friends and reignite some old rivalries, and I’ve already been contacted by plenty of fast bowlers keen to have a bowl at Piers!”
