Thorpe memorial day returns to Kia Oval on June 19

A fundraising event in honor of former England cricketer Graham Thorpe will take place at the Kia Oval on June 19 during the Test match between England and New Zealand. The Day for Thorpey, organized by mental health charity Mind and Surrey County Cricket Club, aims to raise money for the Bat & Chat program, supporting mental health through cricket. The inaugural event raised over £170,000 last year. Organizers emphasize the importance of creating supportive environments for friendship and conversation amid mental health challenges. Further details about the event are expected to be announced soon.
