Former Leicester striker Emile Heskey was given a special duty to perform by the LA Dodgers as he threw the first pitch at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Foxes are in Los Angeles ahead of their next International Champions Cup match against PSG this weekend and while the squad were put through their paces in the heat, club ambassador Emile Heskey was given the chance to open the game with the ceremonial first pitch. 

Heskey, who scored 40 goals in 154 games for Leicester, showed off the Premier League trophy before game-time at Dodger Stadium, while club mascot Filbert Fox was also flying the flag for Leicester before the game, which saw the Dodgers lose 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Leicester beat Celtic on penalties in their opening International Champions Cup match on Saturday and close out their pre-season schedule with a highly-anticipated clash against Barcelona in Stockholm on August 3.

They then face Manchester United in the Community Shield the following week before opening their Premier League title defense at promoted Hull City on August 13.
