    England cricketer Jonny Bairstow attended a table cricket competition at Headingley yesterday, 26 April, to show his support for young people with disabilities.

    The Lord’s Taverners Table Cricket programme, which is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, last year gave more than 3,000 young people with severe physical or learning disabilities the chance to compete and have fun, regardless of ability.

    Played on a table tennis table with side panels and sliding fielders; a ball launcher and a weighted plastic ball, Table Cricket enables young people with severe physical and learning disabilities to enjoy cricket and represent their school on a competitive basis.
