His presence is expected to elevate the experience for players and fans alike, adding a touch of history and flair to this already extraordinary event.

The celebrations will culminate in the Cricket on Ice Gala Dinner on Saturday, 14 February, where Henry Blofeld will deliver an after-dinner address to participants and guests. The evening, held in one of St. Moritz’s grand alpine venues, will mark the perfect conclusion to a week of camaraderie, sport, and tradition.
