This week we are grateful to Mark Ramprakash for making time available to speak to us. Whilst you will likely be familiar with his professional career (as international or county player, or England men’s batting coach, or dare we say it, even on the dancefloor), his story and experience is of much greater breadth; whether in the role of Director of Cricket at Harrow School, or having come through the state school education system himself, Mark’s viewpoint covers all aspects of the UK cricket and coaching environment. Offering a balanced and well considered perspective, this is not to be missed. Enjoy the show!   Notes on podcast series:   The Community Cricket Podcast is brought to you by Twenty 20 Community Cricket Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation aiming to support and promote cricket in state schools, to develop young cricketers of all ages & backgrounds and to develop associate cricket nations at all levels. The podcast is presented by Tim Ferrone and Darren Talbot. Darren brings an enormous wealth of cricket coaching and development experience, and Tim reckons he spends more time coaching than he does his ‘proper’ job. Both love the sport of cricket and are tremendously passionate advocates of its capacity to benefit all who partake in it. The Community Cricket Podcast is produced by Wrapped Up Music.   Connect with us: If you have a comment or club cricket question you’d like us to address, then just drop us a line at: [email protected] Find out more here: https://www.twenty20cricketcompany.com Advertisers: Enter CCP10 at checkout for a 10% discount with AJ Sports: https://www.AJsports.co.uk     Check out PLAI Sport at https://www.twenty20cricketcompany.com/plai
