By IANS News June 17, 2023 • 14:38 PM View: 1502

The Edgbaston Cricket Stadium will turn 'Blue for Bob' on Saturday, which is day two of the first Test of Ashes 2023 to commemorate England's legendary cricketer Bob Willis, who passed away at the age of 70 from prostate cancer in 2019.

The initiative will raise money to help and support the Bob Willis Fund, co-founded by his wife Lauren Clark and brother David, in its research and bring awareness about prostate cancer.
