HERO: Basil's son, Damian, also has a special place in the hearts of the club's fans.
AN organisation set up to “honour the memories and spirit” of two cricketers has launched a new website.
The D’Oliveira Foundation commemorates the lives of father and son duo Basil and Damian D’Oliveira, who both played for Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
The site has been created to showcase the work of the foundation, which promotes amateur cricket at junior level and aims to “encourage and support participation in grassroots cricket”.
It also includes details of fundraising events, the life stories of both men and competitions, as well as offering D’Oliveira Foundation merchandise for sale.
