Sale Overview
Christie’s Twenty20 Charity Cricket Auction is a once-in-a-generation sale celebrating the careers and accomplishments of some of the greatest cricketers in history. The not-for-profit sale is being launched to fill the void left by the postponement of the 20/20 Cricket World Cup and includes items from some of the most iconic moments in the history of the sport. From the ball with which Muttiah Muralitharan took his world record 503rd ODI wicket, to the shirt from Shahid Afridi’s final international match, this exceptional auction traverses the cricketing world, from England to India via Australia and Sri Lanka. In addition to historic items, the sale includes unique, personal mementos such as a bat signed by Rachel Heyhoe-Flint, made from the willow tree in her garden. Raising money in aid of the Foundation of Goodness, Shahid Afridi Foundation, Jacques Kallis Scholarship Trust and many others, these extraordinary sales will offer lifelong cricket supporters and the wider sporting community the exciting opportunity to own some of the game’s most unique and significant mementos while, at the same time helping us to make a very real difference.
