Woodhouse Grange CC will play host to Yorkshire cricket's elite players on Tuesday, July 22.

Yorkshire CCC's first team will grace Sutton-on-Derwent in a match for Steve Oldham, the county club's Academy coach.

Oldham celebrates 25 years of service with Yorkshire as a player, cricket manager, coach and now in his role as cricket development officer.

The match between the county and 1995 National Village Cricket Knock Out champions Woodhouse Grange is just one of a number of events for him this year.

England calls and injuries permitting, the likes of Matthew Wood, Michael Lumb, Chris Silverwood, Darren Gough, Indian one-day international Yuvraj Singh and New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming will be gracing the field at Woodhouse Grange's Sutton-on-Derwent ground.

They will come up against a side including some of Woodhouse's 1995 and 1999 National Village Knock Out Lord's teams. They will also face Grange's Pakistani Under 19 international, Kamran Sajid - billed as a future Test cricketer. Full news on both team line-ups will be available in the week before the match.

Play will begin at 2pm, though the events start with welcoming speeches by Grange president Richard Hobson. The coin toss, to be made by Steve Oldham, is at 1.30pm.

The match will be officiated by two umpires from the York Senior League Umpires Association - Grange's own David Aked and Don Layfield.

A commemorative match brochure is available now from the Grange clubhouse at £3 which grants entry to the ground on matchday. Payment on the door on the day will also be possible.

A raffle with four pieces of signed memorabilia from last season are also up for grabs.

They are bats from Yorkshire v Lancashire Roses game and England v India, Darren Gough England one-day international jumper and one of Gough's championship shirts.

- Grange's York and District Senior League rivals Dunnington are running a bus to their National Club Knockout area final game against South Northumberland at Gosforth on Sunday. It departs from the club at 10am, cost £5.
