Search Is On For UK's Best-Dressed Cricket Team

Former England cricket captain, Chris Cowdrey, and BBC Radio One DJ, Greg James, are challenging cricket teams across the country to fix up and look sharp for the chance to get kitted-out like the England cricket team.

Cowdrey and James will be joined by Anthony Procopi, Director of Menswear at T.M. Lewin, on the Cricket United judging panel to award the UK’s best- (or most amusingly-) dressed team with a brand new T.M. Lewin suit each. The winning team will then attend the Eve of Final Dinner in the Long Room at Lord’s on 8 September before watching the Yorkshire Tea Village Cup Final the next day.

Cricket United has teamed up with T.M. Lewin, the official formal wear supplier to the England cricket team (www.tmlewin.co.uk), to give the UK’s best-dressed cricket team - or the team that needs the most help - the chance to look the part for once and dress like Andrew Strauss and co.

To enter the competition, teams should upload video and/or photo evidence of their fashion sense to www.cricketunited.co.uk/best_dressed_competition before 9 August. The winning team will be announced at the conclusion of the England v South Africa Test series on 20 August.

Supported by the ECB, Cricket United shares the best of cricket for everyone who plays the game. CricketUnited.co.uk is a unique online resource centre which provides information, tools, support and advice for social cricketers, while sharing the events experience and fundraising expertise of recretional cricket’s official charity, The Lord’s Taverners’, to help cricketers get more from the game.
