Join us this week as we chat with English cricket icon Mike Gatting OBE. From his early passion for cricket to his celebrated captaincy, Mike offers a rare glimpse into the mental and emotional aspects of the sport, the importance of team camaraderie, and mental health support. Mike discusses his involvement with the Lord's Taverners, the UK's leading youth cricket and disability sports charity. He shares how the charity aligns with his passion for cricket and the goal to make the sport accessible and inclusive for disadvantaged and disabled young people. The Lord's Taverners not only offer opportunities to play but also focus on personal development, self-esteem, and fostering a sense of belonging. The conversation also explores Mike's commitment to promoting cricket globally, particularly in Asia, reflecting on the impact of initiatives like those of the Lord's Taverners and the role community clubs play in nurturing talent. This episode is a celebration of cricket's rich heritage and expansive potential.
