Walsh Looks Forward to Jamaica50

West Indian legend Courtney Walsh has spoken to Surrey TV about his excitement to return to The Kia Oval for the first time since his retirement in 2000.

Walsh is captaining a team of Jamaican Legends who will be taking on an England Veterans XI at the ground on Sunday July 8th in honour of the 50th Anniversary of Jamaican Independence.

Joining Walsh on the Jamaica team will be Darren Powell, Wavell Hinds, Nehemiah Perry and Ron Headley with the England side featuring Mark Ramprakash, Martin Bicknell, Alex Tudor and Devon Malcolm amongst many others.
