Year 6, Oliver Harrison, travelled to Lords cricket ground to bat for England in a Cricket for People with Disabilities (CFPD) tournament against Wales.

The CFPD was formed to give people with mixed disabilities the opportunity to play cricket and develop their potential regardless of the severity of their disability.

Being the youngest player on the team didn’t phase Oli as cricket is his passion. He was selected to play in two of the three games, and overall delivered five wickets.

Oli said, “This was a dream come true. I’ve visited Lords before for a tour and a net session with my brother, but I never though I’d have the chance to play here; I didn’t want the day to end.”

At the end of the final match Oli was awarded Man of the Match for his last game. He was recognised for his extremely accurate bowling and overall excellence on the field at the young age of 12.
