Stumped – Does the nationality of an international cricket coach matter?

It has been available for over a year

New Zealander Stephen Fleming suggested that England should be led by an English coach. He is set to lead the first Test series in South Africa in December, continuing the tradition of overseas coaches leading the England men’s team. Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma examine whether appointing a home-grown coach is the way forward? From viral clips on social media to amazingly chaotic moments on the field, the European Cricket League has captured the attention of fans around the world. Now the competition has bigger ambitions: to make a permanent home in Spain. Campo Máximo is being developed as a purpose-built, futuristic, eco-friendly cricket ground. The man behind it, Dan Weston, tells Stumped that he hopes to host IPL games one day. Plus, women’s cricket is reaching new audiences around the world, but what’s happening outside the big stadiums? In her new book Her World Cricket Tour, cricketer and former journalist Jenny Thompson set out on a mission to travel the world and catch up with women who play the game and hear their stories. Jenny tells Stumped the inspiration behind her podcast adventure.
