The UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been caught on camera taking a tumble as he attempted to run a quick single while batting at Pigotts sports ground in Antigua.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Burnham was wearing an England cricket shirt paired with black jeans and trainers, as he slotted one into a gap and took off on a single.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But half way down the wicket he quickly changed his mind and slipped up while turning back towards his crease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“My running between the wickets needs a bit of work,” he said candidly afterwards.<\/p>\n
Mr Burnham will join King Charles and leaders from the Commonwealth’s 56 member states in the Carribean, where he will argue that the organisation can play a larger role in tackling global challenges including climate change, economic growth and security.<\/p>\n
The UK will also announce a \u00a340 million investment into critical infrastructure in the Caribbean over the next three years.<\/p>\n
The king will open the summit and while he is expected to mention slavery, he will also focus on bringing people together to tackle present challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“His Majesty’s most significant contribution has been helping to connect leaders, institutions and investors around shared areas of interest and concern,” a palace spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
