Lichfield Cricket Club hosts The Chauntry Cup, a contest for both amateur and professional cricketers, which has been running since 1936. Australian test cricketer Keith Miller, considered to the one of the best Australian all rounders, played for RAF in 1943. After playing an "unofficial" war time Test match at Lord's, he raced back to Lichfield and played in the finals the next day. The bowler Ray Lindwall played for the OTU (Officers Training Unit).
