|October 01, 2025
SANJULA Bandara and Armaan Akhtar were perhaps not the most obvious pre-match choices to provide the pivotal moments of the crucial County League playoff clash between Milford Hall and Attock.

This wicket brought the Warwickshire League champions’ teenage prospect to the crease, and when two balls later Akhtar nudged a single into the leg side, a huge roar from Attock’s substantial following confirmed their fourth bonus point had clinched the second available promotion place.
