In this episode, we finally turn the microphone to face Twenty20 Community Cricket Founder and MD Darren Talbot, as he explains how and why he founded the company. We celebrate Darren’s recent award winning appearance at the Kia Oval, and he tells us all about his vision for plugging the coaching gap for state school educated children, and how he believes this is a premise that could work nationwide and not just within Surrey. He also shares how the set-up is tailored specifically to cater for its girls’ academy, as well as his plans for the future. Enjoy the show!

The podcast is presented by Tim Ferrone and Darren Talbot. Darren brings an enormous wealth of cricket coaching and development experience, and Tim reckons he spends more time coaching than he does his ‘proper’ job.
