Arson is suspected to be the cause of a fire at a cricket club in Bradford early today.

The fire started in plastic waste bins outside the pavilion at Idle Cricket Club in Cavendish Road and spread to the door of the building, filling the toilet block and a café with smoke.

Firefighters, who were called at 5am, were able to stop the blaze spreading to the nearby social club.

A spokesman for Idle fire station said the cause of the fire was being treated as suspicious and police were investigating.
