I don't like cricket, I Love it.

In Episode 12, we explore how one of our shared passions, cricket and how it can be used for social development. The episode kicks off with an update on the latest Sport and Development stories from ConnectSport‘s Simon Lansley (@simonlansley). We then hear about Sara’s trip to Kenya with Cricket Without Boundaries. The pod then discuss the pros and cons of cricket as a tool for development including: How can the technical nature of the game be harnessed for good? Is the complicated nature of the game and the equipment an issue? How can it be used for gender equality? The interviews this episode are Richard Joyce, Richard Darwin and Vanessa Greene from UK cricket charity Chance 2 Shine. Finally, the quiz this week features five cricket charities which Lee and Sara have to guess from their descriptions.
