After the news which broke earlier this week, we thought it would be rude to not bring back one of our favourite episodes celebrating John Turner's first England contracts! So sit back and enjoy our chat which we had with John just before his break through season down at Hampshire.
This week we are very fortunate to have just that. I get the chance to speak to young Hampshire fast bowler John Turner. John made the big move from South Africa to England 18 months ago to pursue his dream of playing professional cricket. Although this move was stalled by covid, something he claims was a blessing in disguise for his career, he has come to the UK and taken it by storm. In his first full season with Hampshire, John took 18 wickets in the Royal London One Day Cup and helped his team all the way to the semi final where they were only undone by a miraculous innings from one of the GOATS, Darren Stevens.
In this episode I chat to John about that day, about the journey he has been on to get to this point, about his big move and also about the future. At the young age of 21 he has an incredible career ahead of him and its fascinating hearing what John has to say about his life so far. As well as this we hear all about his balance of University and cricket, who the father figure at Hampshire is and that big question, would Darren Stevens fit in at Hampshire?
