Somerset County Cricket Club announce that the official opening of the Sir Vivian Richards Gates at The County Ground, Taunton scheduled for Sunday, 12 May will be postponed until later in the season.

In a message to the Club, Sir Vivian Richards said "that he was elated at the honour given by the Club in recognition of his past services but regrets that his cricket commitments in the West Indies in connection with the fourth Test Match in Antigua has thwarted his plans to attend. He hopes however, to attend later during the year".
