SOMERSET’S England international cricketer Craig Kieswetter has donated a signed and framed one-day international shirt as a raffle prize to raise funds for the Somerset Flood Appeal Fund.
The 26-year-old, who has just returned to Somerset after playing in the Big Bash competition in Australia, said: “I’ve been keeping an eye on developments back home in Somerset, and I just feel so sorry for the people who have lost their homes and livelihoods as a result of the floods out on the Levels.
“It’s when things like this happen that I realise how lucky I am to live where I do and earn a living as a professional cricketer.”
