An England cricketer visited a school in Bethnal Green as part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations of charity Chance to Shine.
The Hague Primary in Bethnal Green, the first school to host a Chance to Shine session in 2005, hosted the event with all-rounder Danielle Gibson.
It featured a PE lesson with Gibson and a bat-making workshop from Gray-Nicolls.
Charity chief executive Kate Stephens said: "We're proud to come back and see our programmes in action, and to celebrate with the teachers and pupils.
"This school is what Chance to Shine is all about—you can feel the energy and enthusiasm.
"Cricket has become a big part of their lives."
The school’s headteacher Judy Knappett added: "We had teachers who knew nothing about cricket, but the coaches were so inspirational."
Since 2005, more than 7.3 million children in the UK have been involved in the charity's programmes.
