“A mercurial all-rounder”, “Far from a conventional” and “speaks with refreshing honesty” are all terms that have described our next guest – Paul Smith retired Warwickshire all-rounder who has lived life to the full.

Over the coming months we will really get to know Paul by understanding his early career and some of his highs and lows. He will openly share his views on fast bowling and what he thinks about the current mental health and well-being challenges we face in sport. Lastly it would be amiss not to talk about and appreciate the fantastic work that Paul has done in using cricket as a vehicle for positive development around the world.
This episode is the first of a series of five we will be releasing over the coming months.
You can be assured Paul wont hold back and as always will be very open to sharing his views!
Whether you are a cricket person or not, this series will offer some fantastic insights into the world of a professional cricket - Paul Smith - who knew and worked with the likes of Bob Woolmer and Bob Willis.
