LIVE BLOG: Reaction to Dale Vince stepping down from Ecotricity, World Cup draw preview and build-up to the weekend’s sport

Welcome to Park Life Sport’s live blog. Here you can keep up to date with the latest stories breaking around Gloucestershire and the UK. Today, we’ll be bringing you previews to all the sport taking place this weekend, as the Premier League returns and Cheltenham Town and Forest Green Rovers are also in action. It was announced last night that the Rovers chairman, Dale Vince, will be stepping down from Ecotricity – the company he founded in 1995 – to move into the world of politics. We’ll bring you reaction from around the region to that news as it develops. There will be further updates to the games taking place in this year’s Varsity, with the women’s and men’s football kicking off later today and of course build-up to the weekend’s sport that will be taking place over the next few days.

Also keep an eye on the FIFA World Cup draw that takes place this afternoon. England will be in pot 1, while Scotland and Wales will also be keen to know who their potential opponents could be in Qatar in just under eight months time.

Stay tuned for more live coverage of cricket as South Africa continue their first Test match against Bangladesh. The Proteas ended day one on 233-4.
