Rugby might be England and Saracens hooker Jamie George's first love but cricket is still a regular part of his sporting life and career.
It's why he and his club team-mates did not need much persuading to sign up for a rugby versus cricket T20 match against some of the County Championship's top professionals in August, to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease ***** ociation.
"We [Saracens] do play [cricket] - our warm-up every rugby session summer, winter, snowing, rain, is one-hand, one bounce," George told BBC Radio Somerset.
"The boys love it because they're mad-keen cricket fans."
George will skipper 'Team Rugby' for the game on 19 August at the County Ground in Taunton, in a side that also includes current and former England internationals Owen Farrell, Elliot Daly, Ben Earl and Max Malins.
