Daniel Gidney, Chief Executive at Lancashire Cricket Club, said: “We are thrilled to be teaming up with Trafford Council to get involved with Trafford Live once again. We have a fantastic relationship with the Council and we’re really looking forward to being part of this long-standing family event for a fourth time as we focus on making cricket more accessible to our community.
