Darren Gough, Steve Harmison and Mark Ramprakash will make up a star-studded lineup of cricketing talent to elevate matchday hospitality packages across the Men's ODI and Men's Test this summer.
Keith Prowse, Official Hospitality Provider at Edgbaston, have confirmed the three England icons will feature at the Men’s ODI against West Indies on Thursday 29 May and the Men’s Test between England and India from Wednesday 2 to Sunday 6 July to deliver story-telling, entertainment and insights to hospitality guests.
These England greats, with 173 Test and 235 ODI caps between them, will be hosting hospitality guests in the 1882 Club, Warwickshire Suite and Executive Boxes with the opportunity to meet and greet with them.
Early demand for 2025 VIP Experiences at Edgbaston has been strong with all Executive Boxes sold out across the Men’s Test and ODI, delivering an exclusive private box package. Our informal shared restaurant in the 1882 Club is also selling quick with over 75% sold across the Test Match.
VIP Experiences are available to book directly through Keith Prowse at keithprowse.co.uk/edgbaston, starting from just £299 plus VAT.
Darren Gough
Darren Gough, who will be making a special appearance in the 1882 Club and Executive Boxes on the first three days of the Men’s Test, was known for his electrifying pace and is considered one of England’s all-time great fast bowlers.
Taking 229 Test wickets and 235 ODI wickets in an international career spanning over 12 years, Gough is now a beloved pundit and personality as a TalkSport presenter. At Edgbaston, Darren Gough famously took one of his nine 5-wicket hauls against a formidable West Indies side in 2000, including the wickets of Chris Gayle and Brian Lara.
Mark Ramprakash
Mark Ramprakash is a celebrated English batsman, known as one of the finest run scorers in county cricket with a longevity lasting over two decades. He will be in the Warwickshire Suite and Executive Boxes when the West Indies come to Edgbaston for a Men’s ODI in May.
Making his ODI debut against West Indies in 1991, Ramprakash has over 2,500 international runs to his name and is one of the leading first-class batsman in the modern era.
Steve Harmison
Steve Harmison will be joining us to greet guests in the Warwickshire Suite and Executive Boxes on the first four days of the Men’s Test against India. At his peak, Harmison was considered one of the world’s most reveered fast bowlers and previous Wisden Cricketer of the Year winner.
Known for his hostile bowling style, he was a key figure in England’s triumphant Ashes winning team in 2005 and was involved in possibly the most famous moment in Edgbaston history as he took the final wicket to claim victory over Australia by 2 runs in the second Test of the greatest ever series.
Look out for further announcements coming soon about our guest speakers for Vitality Blast Finals Day on Saturday 13 September.
