The first major crickAid tour will take place this winter when the England team will cross swords with Sri Lanka in a three Test match series The crickAid tour will feature a PCA Masters XI playing against a Sri Lankan Invitation XI to raise more money for Tsunami affected areas. The PCA Masters side will be skippered by former Warwickshire and England batsman Nick Knight this year and he said, "Cricket fans always say how welcome they are made to feel by people who very often live in poverty that we could never imagine. Therefore I am delighted to be working with my colleagues at crickAid.net, the PCA and the Ben Hollioake Fund in providing fantastic cricket experiences which give something back to the locals and help kids in the UK with life limited conditions."
