Pitch Publishing New Virtual Cricket Talks Series
To help cricket fans get a regular fix, the cricket team at Pitch Publishing has launched a new series of Virtual Cricket Talks and Q&A sessions using Zoom.
The talks will feature Pitch Publishing's cricketing authors and run on Friday evenings at 7.30pm, kicking off on Friday 29th May with former Sussex and Middlesex batsmen and now umpire Ian Gould, hosted by BBC cricket commentator Mark Church.
The talks are free of charge to members of the Hampshire Cricket Society and the committee are fully behind this project. A link will be e-mailed to members before each talk to enable them to join the Zoom session.
