Cricket and BLM, with Ebony Rainford-Brent
Added 2020-11-08 13:41:58 +0000 UTCWe may not have sent out last week's episode yet given the US election came along, but it featured an eye-opening interview.
Season 9, Ep 6: Our first long interview in 2020 was with Ebony Rainford-Brent, when the world looked very different. Nine months on, the former England player has been a prominent voice as cricket addresses the Black Lives Matter movement, and has received a big boost to the ACE program that she initiated to get more black English players into the game. It was another revealing conversation with one of the most dedicated people in cricket. Also this week, Shane Watson’s professional retirement, some WBBL, and one of the best Sheffield Shield rounds in modern memory.
