Cricket

From a Pakistani teenager left for dead by terrorists to England’s first black international cricketer, from journalists and broadcasters who have battled adversity to forge careers in cricket to a pair of Syrian refugees, and from one of England’s greatest all-rounders to the inimitable David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, Chave writes about the lives of eleven very different people for whom the game of cricket has been transformative. Through wide-ranging and illuminating interviews, the author delves deep into the (oftenunpredicted) life-enhancing properties of cricket, revealing, in some cases, its power to reclaim lives lived on the brink of despair.
