Have you got a spare £5000? Thought not. But someone must have – and if it’s you, why not put it to a very good cause, and treat yourself, too.

For five measly grand you can net with Shane Warne, Kevin Pietersen, Brian Lara, Andrew Flintoff, and Michael Vaughan at Lord’s. They’ll coach you, too. “It’s not often I give up the chance to bag a few wickets against some Pommies at Lord's,” says, well you can guess.

And you can meet Jemima Khan, the UK ambassador for UNICEF which is one of two charities onboard; the other is the Warne Foundation.

But if £5000 is too much for your own personal slice of cricketing history then for a tenth of that kingly sum you can have dinner with the legends, in the Long Room, on the same evening.

Only 100 tickets to the event, known as Cricket Unites for Children, are available. They can be booked by calling 020 7462 8665 or by e-mail info@evemanagement.com
