Win tickets by signing up to Fantasy challenge!

Leicestershire Foxes fans can enter a competition to win one of five pairs of tickets to the first NatWest T20 Blast game at Grace Road against Derbyshire Falcons by signing up for the new edition of a Fantasy Game launched by the ECB.

Following the game’s success last season - with more than 18,000 fans entering - the free-to-play Fantasy Game challenges fans to pick and manage their “dream team” of county cricket’s T20 stars within a budget to stand the chance of winning big cash prizes.

Participants will automatically enter the main competition for the grand prize of £2,020. Players will also compete with their fellow county fans in one of 18 mini-leagues – one for each county, with the winners of these mini-leagues winning £300.

By signing up to Leicestershire's league, you also have a chance to win one of five pairs of tickets for the Derbyshire Falcons game at Grace Road on Friday, May 22. Simply email foxes@leicestershireccc.co.uk after you have entered your team for a chance to win.
