"The Lashings story began back in 1984 when a makeshift team turned out for its disastrous first fixture. Fast forward through local league anonimity to 1995 and the Lashings Beach Café and Inn, Antigua. Our chairman meets West Indies captain Richie Richardson, who was looking for a fun, no-pressure environment in which to play and rediscover his love for the game. Two and two were soon added together and Richie agreed to come to England and play for LASHINGS. News of Richardson’s contentment spread throughout the cricketing world and other high-profile names came forward. A cricketing equivalent of basketball’s “Harlem Globetrotters” was born. Thus, the seeds were sown for the team that is now known as the Lashings World XI. Early signings included Muttiah Muralitharan, Brian Lara, Shoaib Akhtar and Sir Viv Richards and soon the Lashings team were travelling the country, taking on (and usually beating!) all comers, including several of the first class counties!"
