Two travelling armies of passionate cricket fans are set to invade Hamilton next summer.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) today announced its 2019-2020 international match schedule, including games at Hamilton's Seddon Park featuring England and India – global cricket giants followed by some of the sport's most ardent fans.
England's Barmy Army supporters group will converge on Seddon Park in November for the visitors' second Test against New Zealand's Blackcaps.
And in January, India's Bharat Army will arrive to support their heroes in two matches – a T20 fixture and a One Day International.
Hamilton City Council's General Manager for Venues, Tourism and Major Events,
Sean Murray, says the Barmy Army will bring a truly unique energy and colour to the venue.
