New Britannic Cricketers Come to Alexandria

The Conseil d'Amélioration pour la Culture (CAC), or Council for Cultural Amelioration, has announced the first major sporting event to be hosted in Valenciennes.

It has been agreed with both the Emperor of Alexandria and the King of New Britannia, that there is to be a series of three 40-over One-Day International cricket matches and a Twenty20 cricket match contested between Valenciennes Province and the Britannic Sandwich Islands.

The schedule for the matches is as follows: 
  • Weds 18th June - 1st One Day International (ODI) @ Edgardia, Valenciennes.
  • Friday 20th June - 2nd ODI @ Vranscia, Valenciennes.
  • Sunday 22nd June - 3rd ODI @ Franciscania, Valenciennes.
  • Monday 23rd June - Twenty20 International @ Edgardia, Valenciennes.

There is a hope that the event will be well supported, not just within the Province, but also across the Empire and in New Britannia too. We hope that this will be the start of a much warmer relationship, again, not just between our Province and the Britannic Sandwich Islands, but also both Empires.

In the meantime, Valenciennes are constructing a list of names for the teamsheet. Anyone interested in having their name added to list, should visit the thread at http://www.valenciennes.tk.
