MORE than 20,000 people will watch eight sporty youngsters demonstrating the art of Kwik Cricket at Old Trafford tomorrow.
And the pupils, who are aged between nine and 11 from St Andrew's School, Blackburn, may even be featured on Sky TV.
They will be batting and bowling during the lunch break of the England v India one day international game.
The school has been taking part in Blackburn Borough Council's cricket development project and was picked out of a hat to send a team to the match.
"They will be dressed in whites and playing in front of a full capacity crowd," said Anne Ellwood, recreation officer at Blackburn Council.
"It's a great honour and I'm sure it will be a memorable experience for them. I expect they will be quite nervous."
