Cricket legends on stage for Test Match Special Live

A special edition of BBC Radio Five Live 's Test Match Special is taking place in Birmingham next week as part of a live tour.

Test Match Special Live is taking place at the Symphony Hall as part of a 20-date UK tour.

Test Match Special has been the home of cricket commentary on BBC radio for more than 60 years, with millions of listeners tuning in for unparalleled coverage of the game.

It has become one of the best loved sports broadcasting brands in the world, covering thousands of matches since its inception in 1957, combining wit and wisdom to its loyal army of fans.

Now audiences have an opportunity to spend an evening veteran Test Match Special broadcaster Jonathan Agnew and former England star Phil Tufnell.

The show will feature never-before-seen footage of iconic commentary moments, stories about how the team kept their emotions in check on-air at the World Cup final, and the chance to find out what life is really like watching England from the finest seat in the house.

BBC Cricket producer Adam Mountford said: “Test Match Special is so fortunate to have a unique and special relationship with its audience, and this is a wonderful opportunity for two of our stars to hit the road and meet some of the listeners who make the programme what it is.

“I 'm looking forward to catching some of the shows, too, and share in a celebration of cricket, radio commentary and perhaps a little cake! ”

Presented by BBC Radio 5 Live, Test Match Special will take place at Symphony Hall, a B:Music venue on Tuesday 26 April 2022 at 7.30pm.

Tickets from £33 are available here.
