A report released by the Sutton Trust earlier this year highlighted male pro cricketers to be 59% privately educated, and Yas sits down with journalist Cameron Ponsonby to unpack things a little more, before speaking to Saj Mahmood on the Knight-Stokes Cup & the launch of cricket equipment company Reeqip. 0:00 Intro //1:30 Cameron Ponsonby unpacks his research//38:45 Saj Mahmood on the Knight-Stokes Cup & Reeqip//50:48Outro 📒 WISDEN CRICKET MONTHLY OFFERS Digital for £13.99: https://pocketmags.com/offer/trinorth-ltd/wcmenglishsummer2026 Print for £39.99: https://forwardpress.imbmsubscriptions.com/wcm2026 👀 PATREON For bonus podcasts and daily episodes after every England game, sign up to our Patreon! http://patreon.com/WisdenCricket 👉 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@WisdenCricket?sub_confirmation=1#Cricket #EnglandCricket #CountyCricket REEQIP: https://www.reeqip.com Learn more about your ad choices.
