The Middlesex Cricket Academy are touring La Manga in mid February and are looking to raise £1,500 towards the trip.

The players will be cycling the distance to La Manga on one stationery bicycle with one member of the group cycling every minute for the remaining 40 hours of cricket, training in the lead up to the side leaving for La Manga.

The trip is part of the groups winter programme and will provide invaluable time on grass at a time of year when it is very difficult to do so.
