Six Foxes Stars To Launch T20 Blast Like Never Before!

Six Leicestershire stars will step out from the green carpet into the Sixes Social Cricket nets as we launch the return of T20 cricket like never before on Saturday, 11 May. Let's find out a bit more about the Foxes you'll be meeting, greeting and competing with...

JOSH HULL “ A star in the making, 6ft 7” fast bowler Hull has taken the cricketing world by storm in the past 12 months. The 19-year-old sensation enjoyed a meteoric rise during his maiden season in professional cricket last summer, taking 32 wickets as he debuted in all three formats. 

Those figures included 17 wickets at 24.23 in Leicestershire’s One Day Cup title win, with Hull holding his nerve in the last over of the final to bowl the Foxes to victory.

HARRY SWINDELLS “ One of Leicestershire’s longest serving players, Swin will go down in Foxes folklore for his match-winning hundred in last summer’s trophy-winning Metro Bank One Day Cup final. The Academy graduate has made 95 appearances in a Foxes shirt, with the wicketkeeper-batter making a T20 best 63 while opening the batting against the Birmingham Bears in 2019.

BEN COX “ A marquee winter signing, Cox has T20-winning pedigree in his veins. The former Worcestershire wicketkeeper put on Man of the Match performances in both the semi-final and final on 2018 Finals Day, as he propelled the Pears to victory.

With 156 T20 appearances to his name, and 2,359 runs, Cox could be a difference-maker when he pulls on a Leicestershire shirt in the Vitality Blast for the first time this summer. 

LOUIS KIMBER “ The biggest-hitting batter in town, Kimber packs a mean punch. Now in his fourth season as a Fox, he’s ready to step up and be the match-winner in the middle of an exciting batting line-up.

With a strike rate of 156.09, the 27-year-old plays his game at breakneck speed “ something he’ll be bringing to the Sixes nets on Saturday, 11 May.

BECKI BROOKER “ The newly-appointed Leicestershire Women skipper has started 2024 by leading from the front. The opener made a stunning 145 in the season opener, taking her Foxes average to a mighty 59.57.

After winning the East of England Championship with the side in her first season with the Club last year, Brooker is primed to lift more silverware in T20 cricket this time around.

UNA PARAMJOTHY - Leicestershire Women's vice-captain has been with the Foxes since 2010, making her Senior debut in 2014. In that time Una has made 85 appearances, taking 67 wickets at 21.55 and scoring more than 500 runs.

The all-rounder also helped the Foxes taste glory on her maiden appearance at Uptonsteel County Ground on T20 Finals Day in May 2022 - bowling an incredibly economical spell of 4-0-9-1 in the semi-final, before the side beat Northamptonshire in the final to lift the trophy.

Tickets for the limited-capacity event, which runs from 6:30pm-8:30pm on Saturday 11 May, includes 1x drinks token, 1x main meal, and use of Sixes’ nets alongside Leicestershire’s stars. Tickets are priced at £20 for Adults and £15 for Juniors (U18).

So, join us for an evening of excitement, entertainment, and exclusivity, as we bring back the Vitality Blast spirit for the whole family on an evening not to be missed. See you on the green carpet!
