Good to sit down with Dawid Malan, ahead of his debut for Gloucestershire in the T20 Blast.

On his international career, the franchise circuit, his thoughts on the Blast and how he can tell a player based on the sound off the bat.

A Jewish schoolboy who says his classmates hissed at him to replicate the sound of a gas chamber, as well as threatened to vandalise his house with swastikas, has fought to introduce a new class on 'contemporary antisemitism' in his school to challenge these views.

Great to sit down with Issy Wong.

An interview about her second-coming as an England player, the road back from rock-bottom - a disastrous T20I at Chelmsford - and how getting to this point again taught her to appreciate it more.

This is good:

I went to Brighton a few weeks ago to see James Coles.

An extremely talented 21-year-old with a refreshingly varied set of interests.

Not sure there's a better uncapped player in the country, and not sure that'll remain the case for much longer.

This is a devastating and important read. The abuse that has been directed ⁦@Dannythefink⁩ is beyond horrific.
Yet he follows his survivor parents’ philosophy: life is worth living 💪

I asked a bunch of English spinners, anonymously, about the challenges facing them in county cricket and the realities of their position.

What followed was hours of revealing insight that the game could learn from.

Sav Perera - captained by Harry Brook at an U19 WC - has more red-ball, second-team hundreds than anyone in the country over the last four years.

Yet, at 26, he's never been signed by a county. No bitterness, but found him really interesting to listen to:

Only respect for @MaccabiTLVFC!

But how sad for Britain it has come to this.

Zafar Gohar wants to play for England. He's played a single Test for Pakistan, now counts as a local player and would be eligible next year.

Game-changing signing by Middlesex from Glos over the winter: 11 five-fers in 34 Champo games is a serious record.

Having spoken to several people about Charlotte Edwards, hard to conclude anything other than that she should be England Women's next coach.

A piece on what makes her a serial winner and what she'd bring to the job, featuring plenty of testimony.
