Former Northamptonshire skipper Andrew Hall has been awarded a testimonial dinner by the club.
The 39-year-old South African all-rounder, who represented his country in 21 Tests, 88 one-day internationals and two Twenty20s, spent seven years at Wantage Road before he was released at the end of the 2014 campaign, a move that prompted his decision to retire from cricket.
Hall scored 6,662 runs and took 358 wickets in 207 games for Northants, helping the club win the Friends Life t20 and secure LV= County Championship promotion in 2013.
The dinner, which will also include guest appearances and an auction, will be held at Wantage Road on Friday 3 July.
Tickets can be purchased from www.andrewhallcricket.com at £75 per person or £700 for a table of 10.
Hall, who has chosen to support the Professional Cricketers’ Association, said: "I would like to thank Northants and the board for awarding me a testimonial dinner.
“I am very honoured and excited to be awarded this event in recognition for my years of service to the club and the sport in general.
“I would also like to thank the members and supporters throughout my career.
"This testimonial event marks an opportunity to announce my retirement from all forms of cricket.
“I have had a long and wonderful career that spanned over 20 years and across too many countries to mention. I look forward to the next part of my career."
Northants head coach David Ripley added: "It was a privilege to work with Andrew, an absolute warrior of a competitor, when the going got tough he certainly got going with bat or ball.
“Northants Cricket has benefited enormously from Andrew’s skill and determination and I know the cricketing public will come along and give him the send off he deserves."
