Tanzania Cricket Legends to reunite in Leicester

DAR ES SALAAM: THE Cricket Legends of Tanzania are preparing for a grand celebration as they announce the 3rd official reunion, set to take place in Leicester, United Kingdom, from May 22 to May 24, 2026.

Organised under the leadership of Kanu Rathod, the group’s International Outreach Lead, the event is expected to bring together former players, cricket enthusiasts and families from around the globe for a weekend filled with camaraderie, nostalgia and cricket inspired festivities.

Launched in 2021 by Rathod, the Cricket Legends of Tanzania group has grown into a close knit community of past players and supporters who share a deep passion for the sport and the legacy it represents in Tanzanian history.

The group’s motto, “For the Love of the Game,” continues to resonate with members across generations.

“The reunion in Leicester is more than just a gathering; it’s a celebration of our shared journey,” said Rathod, speaking from Birmingham, where he is currently based.

“This event will highlight the unforgettable moments we’ve created and set the tone for our future engagements.”

The organising team based in the UK has already begun working on detailed plans for the reunion, promising an “out of this world” experience for all attendees.

While the full schedule of events is yet to be released, early excitement is already building among group members and supporters worldwide. Rathod added.

“We’re calling on all Cricket Legends of Tanzania, along with your families, to be part of this special occasion. Let’s come together, rekindle old friendships and make new memories.”

Attendees are encouraged to register early, as preparations are underway to accommodate participants from various countries.
