EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the historic moment, this print showcases Lancashire County Cricket Club's first indoor coaching school at Old Trafford. The members dining room was transformed into a hub of training and instruction as Nigel Howard, the esteemed captain, inaugurated the facility by taking his turn at bat. Amidst the excitement, one of the skilled coaches, Geoff Edrich, is seen guiding 18-year-old Douglas T. Rossington in perfecting his grip on the cricket bat.
