It's about time we had a groudsman on The Ground Jewels.

This week's guest is Edgbaston's Head of Sports Turf and Grounds, Gary Barwell. Gary has been the main man at Warwickshire for more than a decade has nominated Edgbaston Cricket Ground as his Ground Jewel.

Hosted by sports author James Dixon ('The Fix' & 'World in Union') the Ground Jewels podcast is dedicated to celebrating the deep connections individuals have with their favorite sports grounds.
