Former England legend and current Surrey Director of Cricket Alec Stewart has hailed an initiative undertaken by all 18 First-Class counties as well as Scotland for the Yorkshire Bank 40 which resumes in August. All the clubs will be offering selected matches where kids aged 16 and under will go free with a paying adult throughout the month and Stewart believes it'll prove crucial for the next generation of cricket fans and players. In total 30 games are on offer throughout August. To find out the games involving your local sides visit http://www.ecb.co.uk/kidsgofree #KidsGoFREEcricket
