Media Advisory - Royal London One-Day Cup Final and Vitality Blast

Media are advised of the following opportunities ahead of the Royal London One-Day Cup final between Hampshire and Kent Spitfires at Lord's on Saturday June 30, and the Vitality Blast which begins the following Wednesday, July 4.

Hampshire have today won the toss to use the home dressing room at Lord's - so they will be designated the home team (it's Hampshire versus Kent Spitfires, rather than vice versa).

Royal London One-Day Cup Final

Hampshire captain James Vince will be available at the Ageas Bowl around midday on Friday (June 22), ahead of the third day of their day-night Specsavers County Championship match against Yorkshire.

Please contact Will Brewster (Will.Brewster@ageasbowl.com, 07796050204) if you plan to attend, and to request interviews with other Hampshire players.

Kent will make players available at the Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence around 1130 next Monday (June 25) before the first day of their day-night Championship fixture against Middlesex.

Please contact Thomas Brown (Thomas.Brown.Kent@ecb.co.uk, 07795440339) for further details.

The teams will be practising at Lord's on the afternoon of Friday June 29 - Hampshire from 12-2pm, Kent 2-4pm. The captains, James Vince and Sam Billings, will therefore be available for a joint media opportunity – including photographs with the Royal London One-Day Cup – between 130pm and 230pm. 

For further details, contact Ben Walker (ben.walker@ecb.co.uk, 07920288720) / Adam Matthews from MCC(adam.matthews@mcc.org.uk, 07929348074.

Vitality Blast

A selection of England players, as well as the Birmingham Bears captain Grant Elliott, will be made available specifically to preview the Blast after practice at Edgbaston on Tuesday June 26 (the day before the Vitality IT20 against Australia). Players to be confirmed, timing from 12pm. For further details, please contact Andy Wilson (andy.wilson@ecb.co.uk, 07900752900).

We'll also be compiling a package of team by team previews for the Blast which will be available by the end of next week, through ECB Reporters Network. Again, please contact Andy Wilson on above details if you'd like it sent through.
