The Rob Keogh XI versus the Courtney Lawes XI T20 - in partnership with the Ruth Strauss Foundation - is the latest event in the Northants stalwart's testimonial year, and takes place at the County Ground in Northampton on Sunday (July 21) from 2pm.

"I'm really excited for July 21," said Keogh, who hails from Bedford and has been in the Northants set-up since he was a teenager.

"It should be a really fun family day out with lots of activities for the kids and it's supporting a great charity in the Ruth Strauss Foundation."

The umpires for the big match have already been revealed, and they are England Rugby World Cup winner and former Saints player and coach Paul Grayson, Lord Charles Spencer, who is the patron of Keogh’s Testimonial year, and Ricky Ricketts - the founder of T20 Pro-Am and a key member of Keogh’s Testimonial committee.
