We have Lift off!

Melvin is all tucked up for the flight leaving tomorrow from Stanstead via Dubai and onto Chennai.

It’s been a rollercoaster couple of weeks leading up to the night before departure. Melvin badly injured his bottom hand ( attempting a reverse sweep!) and making it touch and go whether he would be sufficiently fir to travel! Luckily and at the eleventh hour his New hand arrived and after a bit of DIY to get the hand to fit Melvin has declared himself’ fit to fly’!

Great News as I think you’ll agree and now 2 hand Melvin is fit to resume his role as Team Mascot and also to be able to write his blog.’ Along for the ride’!

To ensure everything was in working order Melvin had to face some’chin music’ from his co conspirator JB( Butters) a member of the Tour Squad and Melvins Minder whilst on tour.

JB put Melvin through a rigorous work out with bat in hand and is satisfied that MM is fully fit and ready to go!

So, watch this space for Melvins insights into what promises to be the trip of a lifetime for him and The England Over 60’s Squad at The World Cup in Chennai!

Bravo to Melvin and all making the trip tomorrow 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏏🏆🇮🇳we can do this say’s Melvin andvI’mbwith him all the way 💪JB
