‘Fletch’ picked for England U15’s

Young Derbyshire batsman, Matthew Fletcher, has been picked for the England U15 Squad.  Matt’s selection was announced during the Bunbury Festival held at Charterhouse School last week. The Bunbury Festival sees the best 56 players at U15 level in the country playing against each other for their respective Regions. DCB’s Executive Manager, Howard Dytham, said: “This is wonderful news and a fantastic opportunity for a talented young cricketer to ‘make his mark’ at the top level of cricket in the country. Fletch has made real progress since he first came into our county age group squads as a 12 year old. He is a terrific lad with a great attitude to training and development. We wish him well playing for England.” 

Peter Burgoyne also performed very well at the Bunbury’s and came very close to selection himself.  We wish them both well for the remainder of the Season.’
