This week, we’re thrilled to bring you the inspiring story of James Knight—a master storyteller, literacy advocate, cricket tragic and bestselling author.

In this heartfelt conversation, James reflects on his journey from bush cricket fields to discovering the rich tapestry of cultures through cricket. He opens up about his battles with depression and shares how his experiences have shaped a life dedicated to making a positive difference.

We also dive into his latest book, The Spirit of the Warriors, and explore how he uses storytelling to inspire others and foster a love of literacy.

Needless to say, we will ensure James share with us who is on his invitation list to his dream cricket net session.

Don’t miss this powerful episode about cricket, culture, resilience, and the extraordinary impact the summer game can have on those connected to it.
