Andy Burnham falls over while playing cricket in Antigua as PM admits his running ‘needs a bit of work’

Andy Burnham fell over while trying to take a risky single as he met Sir Viv Richards and played cricket with locals in Antigua.

The Prime Minister stumbled as he ran between wickets after batting at Pigotts cricket ground during his visit to Antigua on Monday, 2 November.

He was there to meet young local cricketers and Will Gaffney, the founder of Bat For A Chance charity who has donated cricket equipment to Antiguans.

“My running between the wickets needs a bit of work,” he joked shortly afterwards.
