Asian Community Grassroots Group Invited to Uptonsteel Grace Road
Mon 3 Aug 2026
The atmosphere was electric as Leicestershire CCC claimed the top position in the table with a stunning victory against Somerset, supported by grassroots groups from the marquee.
Around 100 people, including many children, attended the Metro One Day Cup match on Sunday, August 2nd.
Shockat Adam (MP) welcomed the group with a few words, while Emma White (LCCC Chief Executive) stopped by to chat. Claude Henderson (Director of Cricket) hosted a Q&A session with Ajaz Patel, the New Zealand star cricketer famous for taking 10 wickets against India.
The groups had a fantastic time, and Shockat described the event as a great success.
"Loads of people were hooked—definitely going back to Grace Road! Thanks to Emma, Claude, and Ajaz for hosting the event and taking the time to chat with the groups. It was really appreciated!"
