13 February 2020 - College to host 2020 ECB David English Bunbury Festival
The College is delighted to announce that it has won the right to host one of the most famous events in the British cricketing calendar. The 34th edition of the renowned England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) David English Bunbury Festival, will play out under the blue skies of the sunshine coast between 2 and 7 August.
The announcement was made public today by Cricket World Magazine and the ECB who released this press statement to their hundreds of thousands of followers nationwide.
Former Kent and Nottinghamshire professional and Director of Cricket at the College, Rob Ferley, stated, 'Having played in the Bunbury Festival back in 1997 along with future England player James Tredwell [now part of the College’s coaching team], and subsequently forging a lifelong friendship with him, the opportunity to be part of the 2020 Festival and to help nurture the next generation is something that we are really proud of.'
In 2018, the Bunbury Festival was rebranded after formalisation of its position on the ECB Player Pathway. The Festival’s pedigree boasts over 80 Bunbury 'graduates' going on to win international caps, and hundreds more playing county cricket.
Last year, College cricketer Danial Ibrahim was selected for the Bunbury XI against the West Indies; the same year that witnessed record-breaking talent in the form of Tawanda Muyeye.
