FCC Overseas Player Hosting

Dear Players, Parents, Supporters and Friends,

We have excellent news that we are close to securing the services of a prime overseas player from India for our 1st XI for the season ahead. As always there are some formalities and logistics to complete, one important part being that we need to find a suitable host and base for him for the season.

Usually this is arranged quietly behind the scenes, however this year we are reaching out on a wider basis to everyone involved with the club as we believe this is a really exciting opportunity to share.

He comes warmly recommended by Himanshu [“Himmy”] Waingankar, our legendary overseas star for many years from Mumbai, and has been playing a high standard of representative cricket in Mumbai and played for India U23s in the Emerging Asia Cup scoring 100 not out.

If you have the space, the interest and excitement to host this engaging young man then please reach out. He is fluent in English, well-educated and a driver.

Perhaps a family with youngsters playing as colts at the club would love the diversity and rare chance to have such a talented cricketer for the season?

Maybe you are an ex-player with spare space, who would enjoy the company and the excitement of involvement with a high-profile player for the summer?

Folkestone CC has a superb history of hosting our many overseas players over the years and both sides, hosts and guests, have found their time enriched by the experience.

So, if you are interested please reach out so that we can explain more and provide detail – in the first instance contact Club Captain, Chris Jay for an informal chat on 07796 132905 or by e-mail on clubcaptain@folkestonecc.com
