LANCASHIRE Cricket Club has backed the campaign to raise awareness of the search to find missing Madeleine McCann.

The team wore special yellow and green bands of hope' wristbands at Monday's Friends Provident Match against Leicestershire which was abandoned because of rain.

The bands are being sold the local newspaper in Leicester where Madeleine and her family are from.

Proceeds are going to the fighting fund set up by the family of the four-year-old who was snatched from her apartment while on holiday in Portugal.
