CRICKET ace Jeevantha Kulatunga wil step up to the crease to offer the inside line on the summer game in Burnley.

Burnley CC pro Jeevantha will be offering coaching to youngsters at St Peter's Leisure Centre, Church Street, during the half-term holidays.

The sessions with the former Barnoldswick all-rounder, for eight to 12-year-olds, will begin on Tuesday and last for four days.

Behind the workshops are Burnley Cricket Club captain and Burnley Council sport development cricket coach Mohammed Qasim Ali.

Centre manager Zilpha Lang said: "Not only is he a top class cricketer he is also a senior cricket coach and the course is great value for money with the skills the children will learn."

Places are limited so parents are being advised to book early to avoid disappointment.

The sessions run daily from 1pm to 3pm and are £4.50 per session, £16 for the whole course. There is also discount for those holding leisure memberships.
