Twenty20 for Rasika
Saturday 5th July 2008, 11:49AM BST.
Newport are staging a benefit match for long-serving professional Rasika tomorrow – and the action should be explosive.
Several Sri Lankan international players and a couple of New Zealanders will be among the 12 overseas players in four sides competing over three Twenty20 format games.
Rasika is back for his sixth season at Audley Avenue after two years with Wem. There will be two Newport teams, one from Wem and a side will be making the long trek from Penrith in north Cumbria for the day.
The action gets under way at 12.30. Admission is free.
