‘Walking cricket has changed my life,’ says Bexhill club member

A group of over-50’s walking cricket players say the sport is helping with their physical and mental health issues.

Bexhill Walking Cricket Club meet every Friday for an indoor match of the sport, which is played with a soft ball at a walking pace.

Players range from people in their early 60s to mid 80s.

“We’ve got people who have lost huge amounts of weight, and players with dementia and just some who have expanded their social circle,” says chairman Laurie Ray.
