A Sky News cricket team will be taking to the field in an attempt to raise money for soldiers wounded in action.<\/p>\n
Presenters from the channel, such as Colin Brazier and Jon Desborough, will be batting in aid of the charity Help for Heroes, Sky News reports.<\/p>\n
The correspondents will face up against two pub sides from Wootton Basset on August 29th at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground in Wiltshire.<\/p>\n
Simon Cole, team manger for the broadcasters, said: "Sky News is delighted to say thank you and play its part in the Help for Heroes campaign."<\/p>\n
As well as the action on the crease, there will also be a raffle – with the winner receiving a signed picture of the Sky Sports commentary team.<\/p>\n
It was recently revealed a host of famous names have been added to the performers appearing at the upcoming Help for Heroes gig, including Katherine Jenkins and Enrique Iglesias.<\/p>\n
