Congratulations to King Edward VII School Old Boy, Chad Barrett (Class of 2008) who is playing his first official 1st class game for Northamptonshire against Sri Lanka on the 5th June.

Northants hosts Sri Lanka this week, as the tourists look to get some much needed time at the crease ahead of the first test against England on 12th June at Lords.
This game will also be a great chance for the Northants players to find some much needed form, after struggling during the first few months in the LV= County Championship.
