Billings to play at new Rwandan stadium

Kent’s Sam Billings will join a star-studded side to mark the opening of a new national cricket ground in Rwanda.

An eight-team tournament is scheduled to run from October 22-29, according to Rwanda Cricket Association (RCA).

The teams have been divided into two groups of four and will compete in the T20 format with the top two sides from each group qualifying for the semi-finals at the new Gahanga Cricket Ground.

The official opening takes place on October 28 with a celebrity cricket game between a Brian Lara Select XI and a Michael Vaughan XI featuring the Kent ‘keeper.
