Monty Panesar, the England and Northamptonshire cricketer, has become a brand ambassador for Jaguar.

The deal provides him with a Jaguar XKR while he works with Jaguar on promoting its brand and products.

Jaguar is helping Panesar to support his favourite charity 'Movers and Shakers' – The Cure Parkinson's fundraising trust - by hosting a private dinner with the sports star which will be auctioned to raise funds.

David Steele, Jaguar's UK marketing director, said: "We are delighted to be associated with Monty - he has established himself as a great ambassador for British sport making him the perfect match for a British brand.

"I am sure he will thoroughly enjoy driving his new XKR."
