Who are Lashings?

Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
The Lashings World XI is a cricket team captained by the former England and Surrey fast bowler Martin Bicknell.

It was formed in 1984 as a pub team but evolved into an international XI after signing Richie Richardson in 1996. Now a slick, corporate entertainment business, Lashings play between 20 and 30 matches during the English cricket season.

The team has attracted a number of international cricketers and other celebrities to its ranks, starting with Richie Richardson, and including Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Aravinda De Silva, Tatenda Taibu, Chris Cairns, Gordon Greenidge, Jimmy Adams, Henry Olonga, Javagal Srinath, Courtney Walsh, Allan Donald, Shoaib Akhtar and Sir Viv Richards. One "capture" was former English women's cricket team captain, Clare Connor. Sachin Tendulkar, Brendan Taylor, Inzamam Ul Haq, Wasim Akram, Rashid Latif and Ajit Agarkar are its more recent high-profile players. They travel across the United Kingdom, playing in a variety of venues against school and club teams.

Could the Lashings World XI be transformed to a non-permanent team like Baa-Baas or British-Irish Lions in Rugby Union?
